Rarely do castle ruins impress my husband. It's probably because we have gone to so many of them, haha! However, he was anticipating this ruins due to having seen them from a helicopter above. Who is to blame him? With views of the Danuibe & a snow covered Walhalla the trip was exactly what we wanted. Much of the castle ruins are still standing today. The castle originally stretched over the entire hill with a size of three hectare!
One of the best things about these ruins was how it felt to be almost untouched. We only saw two other people roaming the grounds during the time we were there. The view looking down on the well and surrounding walls was also most impressive. I was anticipating every corner for each area had a new and awe-inspiring view to offer.
The pillars shown below, although replicas stand out against the ruins. They feature a semicircular niche with cushioned columns. It has a very Romanesque type appearance.
