Historic and relaxing castle
From first view, this looks like a fairy tale castle. I loved our room, with ancient beams and views over the extensive grounds. I enjoyed the food, and it was wonderful to eat overlooking the moat.
Walking round the grounds was peaceful, we saw a nesting swan, two black swans, and other birds. We also found our way in and out of the maze.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and did not seem to mind that we did not speak German.
The attached museum includes a copy of an ancient book - illustrated Herbal - written in the 13th Century, which we were lucky enough to be able to examine. They also have facsimile copies with German translations.
