RE: Pfalzengrafstein Castle and Reichsburg Castle on the Mosel promenade

in Worldmappin3 years ago

That's so clever with the white castle, no wonder no one conquered it. Does it ever flood?

The first castle looks unusual even for Germany. I got used to seeing the elegant curves and towers. The Reichsburg Castle definitely means business. Looks strong and "manly". And the legend must be true, perhaps was slightly changed in the space of time. But I am sure the warning was real. Back then it was a big deal.

Sort:  

That's right, they were clever back then. They told us about several floods where the castle was in flood. If the water level is too high, the ferry can no longer dock at the island. Yes, I also think the elevated position and then the view of the Mosel are great. The octagonal tower is really something very special. True, these legends tend to change over time as they are told, but I think the gist remains true. Thanks for looking at my post!
