Marvellous castle with great view around Bad Neumünster!

Taking a walk from the town up till the castle was pleasant! Inside the castle is a restaurant, cafe and you can visit for free just to see the scenery. The view is incredible, you can see both side of Bad Münster and the rocky mountains behind. And there are the vineyards all over on the hillsides.

Nice place. Small but nice rooms. Unfortunately breakfast not good enough...very small choice of food available.

Very scenic castle and village with a cool winding river. Nice to walk, paddle or ride bicycle around.

Cute little castle to walk around with 360° views of the town below. There is a lot of parking and a resturant on site as well.

Saint-Émilion Old Town

Saint-Émilion is a picturesque medieval village renowned for its well-preserved architecture and vineyards. The town and surrounding vineyards was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, owing to its long, living history of wine-making, Romanesque churches and ruins stretching all along steep and narrow streets.

An oppidum was built on the hill overlooking the present-day city in Gaulish times, before the regions was annexed by Augustus in 27 BC. The Romans planted vineyards in what was to become Saint-Émilion as early as the 2nd century. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Ausonius lauded the fruit of the bountiful vine.

Because the region was located on the route of the Camino de Santiago, many monasteries and churches were built during the Middle Ages, and in 1199, while under Plantagenet rule, the town was granted full rights.
