    Hiking

    You enter Hohenzollern Castle through the Eagle Gate.

    But then you still have to go around three loops and cross two drawbridges before you reach the castle courtyard. Only then do you realize what a huge complex it is and how high up the castle sits.

    I stood underneath it, as I was allowed to continue.
