What an amazingly beautiful lock.... ?++++ We only viewed it from the outside and really enjoyed the very beautiful and well-kept gardens...???

The Heringastate, or also the Poptalot, is a relatively small fortress, but the beautiful interior and certainly the very enthusiastic narrating guide made it an unforgettable experience. Daily and hourly guided tours only in July and August. Highly recommended. Thanks again to our guide, we really enjoyed it.

Beautiful castle near the highway. Nice to stop and take a walk. Admire the well-kept castle garden. A gem in the area which is already visible from a distance. It's great that it's so quiet there!

Very nice lock, but unfortunately was not open. The garden made up for everything. What a beautiful old chestnut can be found here

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
