Here is a different angle, not seen very often from this side. It shows more of the dimension.

There is a factual tale about it.
For most of the year it is overcast in the valley, as it is throughout most of Germany, but the castle is on an altitude which positions it mostly above the clouds.
Given, the King was sitting on a layer of clouds, in bright sunshine, while the inhabitants of the valley couldn't even see the castle ....

Well...if you're going to rent a car, I would suggest taking pictures of it before you leave with it, and when you return it. National/Alamo is trying to say I scratched paint (which I did not), and sent me a bill for almost a thousand dollars.

That sucks. I just returned a rental to Enterprise & they want to charge me like 400. more than they quoted when I rented it.

I actually will be looking around for an '82 or older G-wagen Diesel.

And the beer girl !!

The Brabus tuning company is in Bottrop, near Essen.

That would definately be worth looking at.
