On a steep, conical hill, the highest point of Oberschwaben (772 m above sea-level) the Waldburg rises. It was the ancestral castle of the lineage of the imperial duke of the same name. From 1221 through 1240 the imperial regalia were kept here.

Waldburg is a really small town really close to Ravensburg where we visited an ancestral castle.

It is a really well maintained castle with a lot of rooms and expositions, like shields, trophies, paintings, and a lot of old furniture. It is funny to find yourself back in time and imagine the lords living there.

A really great destination, not so far away.

This is only one of the castels in that region, maybe next time we can visit more of them.

Along with Bavaria as a self-governing state, Munich is a wonderful European capital. It is now the home to chief conglomerates BMW and Siemens. Moreover, the city provides a laid-back, southern European sophisticated feel, making it largely known among tourists. It is uncertain whether Munich’s real name roots from a German word for monks which is Mönchen and a nearby monastery, or to the old European term Munica, that means “place on the riverbank.” Below are significant events and turning points of Munich as a city: -During the later part of 18th century, Munich grew very fast and was among the biggest cities all over Europe....
