Country: | Well, I will try, sounds pretty cool. Germany is one of the places I will have a look at for skiing at the end of January (some of the best snow conditions in Europe at the moment plus the fact it is easy enough to get too). The downside is I don't speak German (did French at school) but I'm sure I will manage.

Country:  | Erich that picture from the early 1900's in Nurnberg. That part of the town is still standing and looking the same. I believe thought that it was rebuilt after the war brand new because just about all of Nurnberg was destroyed in WW2. I should be going there on Saturday hopefully (weather permitting of course) and I will try and take some pics like I said.
As for the Neuschwanstein Castle I have some good pics of it somewhere. I live only about 2 1/2 to 3 hours from it and have been there many times. I have some good aerial photos somwhere when we flew down there.

Country: | Yes, I remember that very clearly, although I was 7. I remember that I rode a donkey uphill towards the castle and I remember those canons in the walls.
Fantastic place! | |

Country: | as you can see although we get a bit older the old buildings don't change, the scenery on the other hand does and will ........ the revamping on that wall does not look like fun with some pretty shky looking scafolding | |

Country: | Yes Erich, I assume it was under reconstruction when we were there so we weren't able to go inside.
I noticed the fact that on both pix it looks same.
Not all buildings look the same though.
For example, there is one church in Prague, called Emauzy. It was hit during an Ally B-17 & B-24 air raid on Prague on 1st May 1945. The main tower was broken so it was restored inna different shape... Surprisignly... Most of the historical heritage was completely (literally) demolished by the Red criminals........ | |

Country: | interesting roof configuration Pisis.
yes I remember touring the Alt stadt of Wien back in 1980, much of it was of course rebuilt, the Dom with a new roof. Was able to view old pics of the devastation during the US bombings and then finally the worthless revengeful Soviet artillery bombardments. Sad, but still that old plans of the facdes had not been burned so the locals were able to rebuild. Same for Dresden with the dedication of the Frauenkirche this past year. | |

| The Neuschwanstein Castle is something else. I like the views of it on a nice autumn day, or after a snowstorm.
Thanks Gnomey.

| Guess which city in Germany this is
Lets see if anyone who lives in Germany, or has traveled there can guess the location of this "Festung".
I visited it back in 1988.
