Description this is a photo i made of the dungeons of the unfindable castle of Herzberg (near Alsfeld) i saw it on the map so i decided to go there. after 2 hours of driving we finally found it, that stupid castle was just 15 kilometers from the park i was staying but it was on an mountain in the woods, very hard to find .

finally there, i browsed around looking for some nice senery when i saw a closed door put away in a dark desolate corner of the castle's ruine. ofcourse my curiosity overruled my commen sense and i opend the door to look down there. what i found was complete darkness with a smell like nothing alive went down there for atleast 400 years i couldn't (and didn't want) to go deeper in but i saw that the way out was in a beautifull light.

i imagned myself as a prisoner or a ghost of a prisoner set free into the light because of a curious young man who opened the door

, i hope you like it.

pfeew, that's a hard question... to be honest, I don't have a clue. You see I was a bit younger when I took this picture..
Being on holiday with my parents and all, they did all the navigating. Maybe you can look it up on google maps, one thing I do remember the castle was somewhere on the left side of the main road... hope that helps a little

the atmosphere in old castles is always good ^^ the only thing that bothers me, is that most of the castles are touristic. In that way they are spoiled with new features like fire extinguishers not a pretty sight on a photo.

yeah geloof me dit ziet er spannender uit dan als je er recht voor gaat zitten. (te symetrisch) en anders is het gewoon een foutje van mijzelf
