Our visit to this magnificent fortress took place during the last week of August and included snow and freezing cold weather. Nevertheless, we found this a very interesting monument to the past. Towering over the Elbe River and the surrounding valley you can imagine the strategic importance of it's location. Inside you'll find many displays of German military history. Many wars have been fought over this land and you can travel back in time as you tour through the wonderful exhibits.
We took a walk along the wall surrounding the complex and marveled at the skill of the artichitects. It's truely an amazing place.
