Very beautiful castle located on a mountain, with the Bronner Cave underneath, the climb is very steep but the cave is really worth seeing. Signposted from the end of Buchheim

Beautiful castle, but it is a private house and cannot be entered. But it's a great photo opportunity on the Donauwelle hiking trail.

I don't understand a lot of the entries here...it IS privately owned AND inhabited by TENANTS, why should it be possible to just get in there? Do you let people into your home? It's like in a museum: look, don't touch!

It's impressive how this castle stands on the towering rocks. Great photo opportunity, I would be very interested to see what it looks like from the inside. Unfortunately it is closed as it is privately owned.

Nice castle. Worth a visit. There are many hiking and cycling trails in the area. Worth a visit. However, you cannot visit it.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
