Kipfenberg Castle

Kipfenberg, Germany

Kipfenberg Castle was built in the 12th century and was owned by the counts of Grögling-Hirschberg. In 1803 it was moved to the possession of state. Bodo Ebhardt restored and rebuilt the castle in the early 1900s. Today Kipfenberg is privately owned, but there is a Romans and Bavarians Museum in the outer bailey.

I had planned to stop here for lunch on a cycling tour as the reviews are good, Unfortunately it was closed and is only open for lunch at weekends. Today, May 7th. Opening hours are not displayed on the website, it would be useful to do so.

While bicycle touring along the Altmuhltal Radweg, we stopped for lunch. Excellent, crispy yet tender schnitzel, lusciously seasoned lamb shank that fell off the bone and melted in your mouth, richly flavored potato salad, and for desert, homemade, meringue topped, rhubarb kuchen, which, although we were full from our entrees, we somehow managed to make disappear as soon as it touched the table. Excellent service, great patio dining under umbrellas, and clean restrooms. This was a real find, do not miss it.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
