A few weeks ago we drove out to Kallmünz to see the town and the castle ruins. I wrote a guest post for Mapping Megan to highlight all the amazing things you can see and do there: “Traditions and Festivals in Medieval Kallmünz, Germany.” Check it out!
Here are some of the photos that didn’t make it into the above article.
We hiked up to the ruins as a family, but I managed to get myself so lost on the way back down… Like my husband had to drive to the other side of town to pick me up kind of lost. It was a beautiful day to explore though!
This is one of the only small signs that direct people from the road to the castle ruins up on the hill (or mountain… depending on where you come from).
The buildings in the small village are amazing! There is one called the house without a roof that is literally built into the side of the rock face.
For more photos and lots of interesting history, facts, and current events/tours in Kallmünz, check out the post I wrote: “Traditions and Festivals in Medieval Kallmünz, Germany.”
I love reading about Germany! Especially since my husband and I will be heading that way soon! So funny you got that lost! But what a beautiful place to get lost in!
It was definitely a lovely place to be lost :) And I’m so glad it was sunny otherwise I probably would have been really bummed!
I love a good castle, and Germany does them sooo well. Love the view from the top too, all those colourful little houses, so pretty!
Thanks so much! Yeah I have seen some amazing castles since moving to Germany! And they paint houses such bright colors here, not like the U.S. where most Home Owner’s Associations only allow 2 or 3 neutral colors lol
Oh my life, the buildings are amazing – but the views! I love buildings, but oh views from on high hold a special place in my heart!
I love a good view, too! We took some sweet panoramic photos.
The buildings are so beautiful!
I thought so too! I love all the colors.
