We went to Burg Althena on Monday, which still houses the first youth hostel established in 1914. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed our English guide's tour of the castle first built in 1125 but substantially rebuilt between 1907 and 1915. We saw a real dungeon under the floorboards of the primary living area and even saw items once used torture prisoners! Jason tried on chain mail and we were all surprised at how heavy it was.
We ended the day with a wine and cheese tasting at Dr. Lutz Hellweg's home. Here is Tracey and Jason relaxing on the couch.
