Dürnstein Castle

Last month we took a quick afternoon trip out of the city to visit Dürnstein Castle.   Here are the remains of a castle where King Richard I (of England... you know Robin Hood's king...) was captured and imprisoned.

We met some friends there, hiked up to the top, enjoyed the view and had a quick lunch before heading back to town.  It was a great little trip to finish off the summer.  Beautiful weather, old castles and friends.  A great combination!
Almost there - looking up at the castle.  It was an uphill hike!

A view from above.  On the left are remains from an old monastery.

A beautiful view of the Danube


The kiddos up top.  There was an adult up there... although no guard rails.

Christian on my back.  We were a sweaty mess!

Our family of hikers!
