October 5, 2025,Harburg (Schwaben): Märchenweg + Burgbesichtigung + Zauberwald

On Sunday, we took the Germany Ticket to Harburg. Inspired by Henni, thank you very much for this, I wanted to see the castle and the Fairytale Trail.

One of the most beautiful castles for me. Great, well-preserved castle with a good and cheap tour every hour and then a very cozy beer garden with good food, what more could you want. The castle is easy to reach from the train station.
