A visit to Burg Eppstein
March 24, 2008 By Leave a Comment
For Easter I took my daughter to visit Burg Eppstein – a castle that started life in the 10th Century and who has changed hands many times over the centuries. At the beginning of the 20th Century much of the castle was restored and in 1929 it was handed over to the town of Eppstein.
The town is situated to one side of the B455 road and the castle ruins can be seen from the road itself. It is easiest reaching using the A3 exit Wiesbaden-Niedernhausen. There is plentiful parking on the outskirts of the old town, at the side of the main road.
The castle is open daily except on Mondays, but it is worth visiting when the museum is opened as it contains a number of interesting exhibits. There is even a themed book corner to keep children occupied. The museum is only open in the winter on Sundays and Bank Holidays, in the summer additionally on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. For current information visit the town website.

Stingray videos

After blogging about the stingray in Puerto del Carmen harbour yesterday, I decided to take a look on YouTube to see if I could find a video of one jumping as had been reported.
I did! And here it is:
But even more interesting was that I actually found a video of a stringray in the harbour at Puerto del Carmen! Being so shallow, the video is well lit:
In fact, I found that video amazing to watch as it is just so calm and the stingray doesn’t appear to be bothered by the diver swimming along behind it.
