Harburg Castle

Harburg is a town (population 6,000) on Bavaria's romantic road boasting one of the most impressive remaining medieval castles in Germany. It is in the Donau-Ries district.
The castle was first mentioned in 1150 and has never been seriously damaged by war. Unlike many other German castles which were often built in the last 200 years or rebuilt after World War II, the castle Harburg retains the feel of the Middle Ages. Michael Jackson has called Harburg "the castle of my dreams", and he tried (unsuccessfully) to buy it.
The village itself is quaint with many footpaths and a historic stone bridge.

Overnight stay

We have a friend of a friend of a friend making arrangements for us to stay overnight in Harburg Castle, in Harburg Germany!! If it all works out, we'll be staying in the Turret Room. We'll have a private tour of the castle and a tour of a local brewery. Things are starting to take shape!! Only 3 1/2 weeks until we leave. We've made lists, lists and more lists of things to take or buy. A very important item is a sink stopper. Guess there aren't many in the hotels or zimmers(rooms). We've changed the itinerary again. We're going to head to Barcelona from San Sabastian, Spain and then back to southern France etc. The post above tells about the town of Harburg.
