HBM ~ Above Dürnstein looking down to the Danube

Here is another shot from our recent Danube trip and we are now in Austria at a village called Durnstein on the Danube with its claim to fame being an old small castle upon a striking hill where King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192. It is one of the most visited tourist destination in the Washau wine growing area.

The followable PiP shows the riverside view of the village and now ruined hilltop castle.

HBM, enjoy the week.

Herb Riddle replied to TOZ:

Thanks Gordon. A good hike up to here and higher as we are not quite at the top here (more photos to come), We took the easy trail up here along a good footpath but a more exciting direct one via steps was to be had too. An unusual bench I thought. Glad you liked it.
