2️⃣Our second stop in the Palatinate was the stunning Trifels Castle. Perched high above Annweiler at 500 meters (1,600 ft), this reconstructed medieval fortress is an incredible fusion of rugged natural rock and human craftsmanship. Photos taken on Oct 15 #LocalHistory #Germany #Castle #Historian

We combined our trip through the Palatinate in October with visits to several remarkable historical sites. 1️⃣ Our first stop was the Villa Ludwigshöhe — and what a beautiful beginning it was! #History #Travel #Germany
