Auf Burg Schönburg
Castle Schönburg (literally Beautiful Castle) is situated on the Schönberg (literally Beautiful Mountain) above the town of Oberwesel in the UNESCO world heritage site “Rhine Valley”. And nowadays it’s a rather exclusive hotel.

The Unsung Neighbour
Many people all over the world have heard of Rüdesheim am Rhein at the beginning of the Rhine Gorge. Oberwesel is thirty kilometres down the Rhine on the other side, still in the Rhine gorge (actually within walking distance of the Lorelye on the opposite side). And not that many people know it, even in Germany. Although it has all the trappings: vineyards, wine estates, stunning views, houses from various centuries – and interesting windows, of course.

The Original Fool
Or so it says on the plaque:
I wonder – is it foolish to claim that he is the original one since apparently it is only been only 127 years (11*11+6)?

We Made it on a Second Attempt
This is the Schönburg in Oberwesel in the Rhine valley. It’s on a hill, with a few steep paths leading up. They weren’t the problem, though.
The wineries on the way, all offering wine tastings, were the obstacles we had to overcome.

It’s a Beautiful Castle
It’s even called Schönburg which means beautiful castle. The worst thing about it is that you have to walk up that hill to get there.
