I took this photo of King Ludwig's castle in Barvaria, Germany.

Another great pic! :D

Thanks. That was taken from a bridge near the castle. What surprised me was this castle isn't really that old. It was begun in 1869 and construction ended in 1889 when King Ludwig died.

The tour guide said, "When this castle was being built people were driving cars and drinking coke."

I actually looked up that claim and he was right.

Yep - one the oldest castles are in Poland. Like in Malbork for instance - the construction of that castle is dated in XIII century. :)

I visited a castle in Krakow, Poland, but I don't recall the name... just some legend about a dragon.

Ah yes! Hehe - the Dragon legent. Well in short - Dragon liked to eat sheep. One day a young man named Dratewka stuffed dead sheep with sulphur. When Dragon ate that sheep he felt a sudden need of a drink. So he went down to the river and started to drank from the river Wisła. He drank and drank until he blow up! Hehe! :D

Ah - the castle name is Wawel or the Kings Castle on Wawel.
:iconag88:
Yeah, that sounds like the legend they told me.

Krakow was a really nice city. I enjoyed my time there.
