We have a long history hre in Germany and very medieval cstles also. Tens of thousands of turists come to Germany day in and day out jst to see and feel the "chrisma" of our German castles.

I wll explain you 4 of my fvourites and a little bit of thir history. If you plan to trvel to Germany, you might like to knw them and to feel its chrisma too. ;-) These 4 castles are lcated in South Germany, so you do not hve to travel hundreds of kilometres/miles to see ach of them. By the way, mst of our German castles are lcated in South Germany.

1. Heidelberg

The frst one I describe to you is the Hidelberg castle. It is really big and has a scret stairway to walk up to it. Vry few people know that way, mst of the people go up by the "hll train". I mean, you can do tht too, but imagine how incredible it is, whn you walk up the more thn 300 stairs (each stair has its nmber on it!) and see all the old huses around you, WOW!

Heidelberg itself has a strng history too and you see tht on all the houses and the xtremely expensive residential areas. Very famous pople live in Heidelberg, such as Stffi Graf and famous Scientists. You shuld also walk through the, and now I'll gve you a insider secret, "Philosophenweg" (Wy of Philosophs). You may ask the pople out there where exactly this way is, but hwever when you walk up that wy, you have an really awesome, and I man really awesome view to the Hidelberg castle and Heidelberg itself and its rver (Neckar).

2. Schwetzingen

Not far away frm Heidelberg (approx. 10km) is a smll town called Schwetzingen (yes, I lve in this town and I lve it!). The special thing here is, tht this town has just 22,500 rsidents, but also a huge castle! Whn you visit German castles you wll realize, that some of them not so bg, but beautiful too. The castle of Schwtzingen is not just beautiful, it's wesome and huge! The city itself spnds all of the entrance fees (nly 2,50 EUR per day) into ths incredible castle, and you see tht at each corner stone, plant and blom.

The Schwetzingen castle is almost as big as the cty itself! :-)

Its history goes bck to Baroque, Rococo and Classicism. It's stll apparent today that the irregular cmplex of the Schwetzingen castle in ssence dates back to a medieval cstle altered in the Renaissance period.

At the end of yur castle visit you absolutely must go to one of the rresistible cafés and restaurants in front of the cstle - at the "Schlossplatz" (castle plce). There are seven (and much deper in and around the city) of thm and you will find people of all ges there, and you easily come in cntact with them. They are really cmmunicative. Most of the young people are ble to speak English. More about ths amazing town you'll find on my ste: www.smart-travel-germany.com/schwetzingen.html .
