Schwäbische Alb

Yesterday we had some great time in the Swabian Alb. From Wikipedia:
"The Swabian Alb (German: Schwäbische Alb) is a low mountain range in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, extending 220 km from southwest to northeast and 40 to 70 km in width. It is named after the region of Swabia.

The Swabian Alb occupies the region bounded by the Danube in the southeast and the upper Neckar in the northwest. In the southwest it rises to the higher mountains of the Black Forest. The highest mountain of the Swabian Alb is the Lemberg (1015 m). The Alb's profile resembles a high plateau, which slowly falls away to the southeast." (Wikipedia)
With magnificent landscapes and numerous castles this is a popular tourist destination. Here are some pictures>

In these parts the castles are from fairy tales. View of Lichtenstein Castle.
