    Hiking

    Egloffstein Castle

    We could see Egloffstein Castle from afar. With its white plaster, it shone in the sun and also attracted the attention of other hikers and guests of the pastry shop.

    After our photo session, we started the climb up to the castle. You can choose between a slightly steeper route and stairs or a street with a slightly gentler climb. We took the stairs, of course. It is always impressive how the houses are built next to each other in the alleys and the stairs meander through them towards the castle.
