Yet another of Germany’s must-do castles.
Since this was on our drive down to Konstanz with several other castles along the route, we chose to just do the hike up to the castle without going in.
Good call, since there was a long line of people waiting to get in, apparently they’re staging visitors due to COVID.
Spectacular views, and an amazing fortress, perhaps we will make it back to see the interior some day.

Pink Palace

The pink is an interesting choice for the windows

Way up There

Invading armies would be all tuckered out by the time they made it up to the bottom of the castle.

Octagons

Not just the usual round turrets here.

On the Volcano

It’s easy to picture the Berg Hohenzollern (Hohenzollern Mountain) as the volcano that it is.
