Mitwitz moated castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle is the landmark of Mitwitz and an absolute highlight. A visit to the castle surrounded by water with its many original furnishings from the 16th to 20th centuries is very worthwhile.

October 24, 2021, Von Mitwitz nach Rotheul☀️🚶‍♀️: Wasserschloss 🕍und viele 🌊Teiche 😊

This morning I was actually like a couch-book-tea day. But since I had to do something in Mitwitz, I spontaneously decided to go on a hike from the moated castle. Good decision 🙂! The weather was so nice, although this morning it was still quite frosty in the shade. But the sun was shining, the many ponds looked simply beautiful with the blue sky and there were even a few crawling animals on the way😊🪲🦟🐛 Oh yes, did I already say that I like ponds and pools? 😄
