An incredible raptor show awaits. The old castle location is beautiful. There are excellently prepared and posed, but sadly sun-bleached taxidermy specimens on display inside the castle.

The castle offers a pretty cool birds of prey show at 11 am and 3 pm every day except Monday. Entry costs 10 euros for adults and in that price is also included a visit to the small but nonetheless interesting museum. There's also a restaurant that can only be accessed with an entry ticket to the castle; food is decent but the prices are a tad too much for what is offered and the waitresses seem in a rush to get rid of people as fast as they can. If in the area, I'd recommend doing a circular hike to all three castle ruins: Rosenburg, Rabenstein, Tachenstein; it takes about an hour and a half and there are great viewpoints.

We love doing this trip every year. The kids enjoy the show, and it is exciting to see. Staff are kind and so many awesome birds to see. Even with the show being only in German we still have a great time.

Interesting all around. The Burg has a self walking tour with local history and animals that have been preserved. Cafe/restaurant/beer garden offers good food and drinks. Toilets are modern and clean. But the absolute highlight is the birds and the show. It was very informative.

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.
