We
also took a drive along the Neckar River on the Burgenstraße
(Castle Road). |

 |
|
 |
|
| The
lovely town of Hirschhorn, which was where the wedding took place (in an Evangelical church
that is just to the left of what you can see in this photo).. |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
| Burg
Mittelburg, one of the "vier Burgen" (four castles) above the town of Neckarsteinach.
This castle is now the home of a baron. |

| A
view from one of the towers of Burg Schadeck, with Jim and the Neckar river visible beyond.
Burg Schadeck was built in 1230 but has been a ruin since the 18th century. |
|
| A
view of the Neckar river and Neckarsteinach, with two of the castles (Burg Mittelburg on the
left and Burg Vorderburg in the middle) visible. |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| The
most ruined and oldest of the castles, Burg Hinterburg. It was built around 1100 but has been
in ruins for several hundred years. |
|
| Another
view of Burg Schadeck. Hiking trails connected all four of the castles, although you could
only visit the two that are in ruins (the other two are private homes). |
