Country views: Pappenheim Castle

The sweeping view across the Altmühl valley from Pappenheim Castle is certain to have saved the lives of its original occupants on one or two occasions, as you could already spot enemies advancing from a long way away. These days, you can just relax and enjoy the view, take a casual stroll through the Botanical Gardens, visit the Nature and Hunting Museum or just stretch out under the lime trees of the castle tavern.
