There it is! Truth is, castles are a dime a dozen in the Rhine River region, of which the Mosel River is a tributary.

Big rivers = trade, and

trade = tolls,

if you have the goods and the gumption to build a castle along a big river and charge a toll to all passersby on pain of death.

Apparently a lot of dukes and such had such goods and gumption; by the time we got to this one, we had passed some 10 or so of the buggers. For all of which, according to the rules, I was obliged to take a drink. Hey, I didn't make the rules.

But most of them weren't as storybook as this bugger. Dig that mural.
