An investor has hijacked the beautiful castle and is opening his hotel in the summer. Entering the construction site is prohibited! Also the grounds, but since everything was open, I walked around the house once.

With pleasant spring-like temperatures and plenty of splashes of color, I started in Oppurg today and paid a quick visit to the castle there🏰 and the nearby rittergut-positz.de⚔. Then I returned through forests and across meadows.
