We are currently a one car family so our exploring us dependant on that. Yesterday we were able to have the car after the kiddos dentist appointments so while daddy worked...we explored. Landstuhl is nearby so we decided to explore and find the local castle. Burg Nanstein is only about 10km from DH's work. I must admit the signage isn't spectacular when you are driving in heavy traffic trying to locate this castle. I even tried to find the exact address for GPS but wasn't successful (looking back I could have used the Schloss Hotel address). We have a Ford Explorer and the entrance to the drive up to the castle made me suck in hoping we'd fit. We did :) but it is a roadway mostly only one car width but it is a two way street. A hidden blessing was that this castle is closed on Mondays so while we didn't get to go inside, we also didn't meet up with very many cars on that narrow path.
When we got up to the hotel portion, we circled around to check it out. There is parking there and also a walking path up to the castle. We opted not to do this yesterday because it was cold and rainy and quite muddy. We drove up to the castle and began to look around. It was very neat. The kids were so excited. There were many archways and "tunnels" for the kids to go in. We walked up the steps to the castle door and discovered that it is closed on Mondays. That was ok for us. Still plenty to see and quench our exploring thirst. It was mostly still intact so it still resembled a castle. The view from the castle of the town/village was superb. The picture does NOT do it justice We will definitely be doing back to explore more.
