A great old house, currently a lost place. But it's apparently going to be rebuilt. Right next to the house is the world's largest tree. So both are highlights.

simply fascinating these trees. Their bark looks and feels like fur. A lonely specimen of these trees stands behind the castle courtyard at Drachenburg Castle.
