divide world capital and the 2 engine forest. it's fundamental to germany. it's history, which is why it's often referred to as the castle of the germans. and today we're going to find out why the, it's an early morning and i'm excited to get started by the castles are always on the top of a hills. for strategic reasons, of course. but 411 meters is still way up there. how much farther the finally made it, the there's even an ancient drawbridge, which paid off in the past. a little hard for a castle was often under siege. it was never a concord the
