It’s a picture-postcard view between the Loreley and Bingen - of Hildegarde fame - but it's also the spot at which Blücher took his Prussian troops across the Rhine before Waterloo.
I love that whole route--and never get anything done, because I'm too busy looking at the castles. :) I once went by when they had re-enactors in uniform, with heavy wooden rowboats. Would October be right for Blücher?
Thanks, Lynden! That's really interesting. (Especially for someone who passes Pfalzgrafenstein not infrequently.)
I did wonder, as I put this together, whether any of these castles were familiar to you!

Full of history and lore, then!
It was fun to do this with you--good questions!

It was late in the year, I think...
