We had the pleasure of taking a guided tour of the castle today. It was very interesting, and the guide was very entertaining and funny. The rooms are beautiful, with so much to admire and see. From the armory, library, study, fountain, chapel, anecdotes, photos, and a short musical interlude, there was even more to see. But I don't want to give everything away 😉. In any case, the visit was well worth it and very entertaining. The castle tour lasted over an hour. Photography is prohibited in the private rooms.

Great location, above Veilbronn, with a view of the valley. The steep path leads up stairs from Veilbronn. Next to the Naturfreundehaus is the climbing garden.
