The Haut-Koenigsbourg castle in France - a magical place with an overwhelming view!

in #travel7 years ago

Hello lovely Steemians :)

After returning from my Family in Southern Germany my head is full of beautiful memories and impressions.

I made a lot of exciting and amazing excursions. One of them was on last Saturday: We visited the Haut-Koenigsburg castle in Alsace, France! It was built in the first half of the twelfth century and restored at the beginning of the twentieth century.

The weather was just perfect and after a ride of one hour by car we arrived in an enchanting fairytale forest.

Only 15 minutes walking on a wonderful forest path and the castle showed its whole beauty!

We bought some tickets for the entry, which were 9 Euros each, and discovered every corner of this fantastic place! It was absolutely worth it!!

The castle has been restored with so much love and artistically skills. It is a place where history really feels alive.

Swords, armours, old furniture, paintings, red sandstone, wood, magical architecture and a stunning view and nature around make it to one of the most impressive places I have ever seen.

But let me show you some impressions of it so you can see it on yourself! :)

That's what a kitchen looked like back in time. Isn't that a cosy space?

Amazing, I bet you felt like a princess! What a beautiful country you live in, it's just like a fairy tale. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful photos.

I hope I can visit!

Sometimes I feel that I belong in this century of knights and nobles. This reminds me of the book Timeline by Michael Crichton, one of the many favorite books. Actually that is the only thing that comes to mind right now. You have captured the essentials of the castle and I can picture men and women of that age going about their business.

Hi my dear fiend @endorphoenix how are my friend.Yes your post was so nice and wonderful place.My phone now is ok thanks to My almighty God.
