The view into the fog. We didn't see much. Great places to sit in the castle garden. It's worth translating the history of the castle with Google.

For 480 Kc, two people can visit the church, crypt and tower and receive a detailed history description in German. What is special is that the church was moved by 841 meters and 10 centimeters (!) in the 1970s. All because of coal.
