Castle Liebenstein.....

Castle Liebenstein is set high on a wooded hill, on the banks above the Rhine river. We stayed in the new part of the castle (the top floor of the white building) that was built in 1600. The old, gray part was built in 1100 :-). The grotto is where the castle's well was located. The path through the woods is part of a marked hiking trail that follows the Rhine and goes from castle to castle. The dining room was decorated with suits of armor and other weapons...the boys thought it was way too cool! The evening photo was taken from the top window of the white part of the building that you see here. Beautiful!
