Marksburg Castle

Today was our last day in Germany. We went to the Markzburg Castle about 30 minutes outside Koblenz. It was the only German castle to have survived intact throughout the centuries. It was just incredible. The castle was built during the Middle Ages and was once the center of a mining area. Today it is run by the German Castle Association. We were impressed by the dungeon and amour room. The girls were surprised by just how hard life would have been back then—and these would have been the lucky ones that lived there. We ended our time in Germany by shopping for some gifts to bring home and making sure everything was packed for our journey to Denmark tomorrow. Thank you Germany for a wonderful time—
