While being abroad I love to have a glimpse at the country’s history and culture. This can easily be arranged by visiting museums or old castles, manor houses. I prefer the latter as museums can sometimes be boring, but castles never cease to amaze me – vast spaces, colourful rooms, smallest details, huge fires and kitchens, where servants prepared feasts for the rich...
I’m really glad that this time we managed to visit
Schleswig and
Glucksburg, right on the Danish border.
Scloss Gottorf - has been turned into a huge museum; it has several halls that can make you say you've never seen anything like that before.
A wine inn that used to be in Lubeck. The whole room has been brought to Gottorf! If it stayed where it originally was, we wouldn't have seen it - the inn was destroyed during the war.
The Hunters Hall. It's a shame that nowadays the cellings are mostly only white...
The cobbled yard. I'm sure it looks nicer on a sunny day...
Glucksburg - a little town right next to the Baltic Sea and the beautiful Castle that was featured in a German TV series my grandma used to watch last year!
