On one of our last free days with a car, we decided to go visit this nice castle. Of course, you can't drive all the way to the castle, and they always put these darn castles at the top of big hills for some reason, so we had a nice, long, exhausting climb to the top.

The castle (and Christmas market inside) was defended by a crack team of children manning a cannon.

Of course, the castle has a great view of the surrounding countryside.
