Journal:

From Zurich, we traveled north back into Germany and into its Black Forest.  We toured the forest and eventually stopped in Baden Baden.  We had intended to go to one of the spas there, but looking at the timing we had to push on.  So we continued our path north and decided to follow the Rhine River back to Frankfurt - stopping at castles and other sites along the way.

Looking down from the ruins over the Rhine River.  9010-Rhine-looking-up-river.jpg (375652 bytes)
A tower built on the side of a hill - not quite sure of the effectiveness of such a structure, but interesting none the less. 9020-Rhine-tower-on-hillside.jpg (460253 bytes)
The building on the hill above and to the left is a castle turned into a hostel.  if you are less than 20 years old you can stay there for about $20/night. 9030-Rhine-castle-hostel.jpg (400296 bytes)
The ruins of this castle are actually lower than ground level.  Some glass view ports have been established to see aspects yet to be uncovered. 9040-Rhine-castle-with-moat-area.jpg (512574 bytes)
