All good things come in 3s, they say... So before we left, we went on a short tour with Waldeck Castle on the way. A good decision because from up there you have a great view of the Edersee.

The barrier wall in Hesse on Lake Edersee currently holds the record as the “longest permanently illuminated structure with color changes”. In 2014, for the 100th anniversary, 39 LED headlights were installed in the upper outlets. Every evening, after dark, you can marvel at the wonderful play of colors.

This was a first tour here at the Edersee, and an entertaining and very strenuous one at that, as it goes up very steeply in the first part. A small part is not a bike path but a steep hiking trail. Once at the top, a very nice view of 🏰 Waldeck

A beautiful castle 🏰 where a wedding took place this Friday. If you look at the history of the castle, especially in terms of prisoners, it would be unthinkable from today's perspective ‼️☝🏼🙈

We definitely had a fantastic view, only the way back was over hill and dale, but mbH is used to that....🙈🤭😉
