Day 7: Castles, Castles, Castles

Today was all about Castles, hence the title. Here’s the first one we saw today and the only one we went inside. Here’s our first standard castle selfie of the day, beware there’s more.


Marksburg castle is famous for never being conquered. Here is the wall of family crests that had power over the castle. Earliest know is 1283.


Gorgeous misty views all around


The castle garden was on the second floor. 


The wine and beer cellar


We had to climb out a pretty tight staircase, thought we should celebrate Kelly making it out still breathing.


One of the coolest parts of the castle was the slate staircase to get inside.


After exploring the castle, we got back on the boat for a castle cruise. There was over 40 Castles in a small stretch of the middle Rhine.

Church... oh wait and castle


Middle of the water... yep castle


Another standard castle selfie


You guessed it... castle, this one lit up like Disneyland.


We landed in Rudesheim for a little night time walk thru the bright lights of another magical Christmas market. 


Tomorrow, Heidelberg.
