A castle and more

We really wanted to see a real castle - so we headed to the little town of Braunfels, which was like a fairytale city.  Perched atop the hill in the middle of town was Schloss Braunfels.  And the day was gorgeous.  What more could we ask?  We were able to get a glimpse of life in the era of the castle - existing as early as 1246! We strolled around the castle grounds and visited the Family museum (complete with artifacts of the time), and then the little town, taking in the history and beauty.
