Unbelievably, I only have two more weekends in Germany before I have to fly home. Our major excursion this weekend was to Schloss Lichtenstein - about 45 minutes from Tuebingen. This is an 18th century replica of a medieval castle. The original owner of this castle was inspired by the castle in a piece of fiction, and decided to build his own in the same style on the site of an older ruin.Unfortunately they do now allow photography inside the castle, which is a real shame because its most striking feature is the murals and frescoes symbolising the owner's family tree and various pieces of prose and poetry.
