E30: Harburg 9th May

Looming over the Wornitz river and the medieval village of Harburg is the 12th century Schloss Harburg (I actually took a photo of a photo to get this view) ….

We climbed up the hill and toured the castle grounds, the buildings are perfectly preserved….

these buildings are said to be teeming with ghosts (didn’t see any tho’!)….

Excellent view of the river Wornitz from up here and the 17th century stone bridges that span it….
