There are over 100 castles just in Bavaria!! And that is exactly what we did this weekend. My husband and I get on Google and look within an hour drive to see what new castle or castle ruins we can find. Friday we drove to 2 of them. Yes it was freezing but you just have to get out and go! The weather can get very crappy here and you'll start to feel depressed if you don't get out of the house. Does it make for pretty pictures? eh, not as much as when the sun is shinning but does it really matter?

Before you go running out and looking for castles try to find a website or information on it. Yesterday my husband and I went to find another 2 castles. The first one was great! The Wolfstein Castle Ruins in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. After exploring that castle we drove to castle ruins in Niedermurach. It took us around 40 minutes to get there and come to find out they were closed! Unfortunately the map I had that listed this castle said it was all season. So yes, there is wrong information out there but that can be part of the fun. We got to drive through a part of Bavaria we'd probably never see. We also know that when the weather warms up we definitely want to go back to that castle. Even though you may hit a few bumps in the road while trying to find new places you'll be so satisfied that you actually got out and did something! No one wants to leave Europe feeling like they didn't get the full experience. So get out of the house and explore!
