Hanstein castle

MBP_0572
Last weekend, the weather was awesome and a family friend from Canada is currently in my hometown so we decided to go on a day trip to Hanstein castle, a ruined castle in Thuringia.
The view from the parking lot is stunning! We went on a short hike (45mins each way) to the 'Teufelskanzel' where we found this cute restaurant:

Of course we couldn't resist getting some ice cream on such a gorgeous day and after hiking up a hill ;)

It was my dad's first hike after his hip replacement surgery but he was doing great and we were much faster than the average weekend hiker. After we finished our hike (and switched back to flip flops because it was way too hot for hiking boots!) we went to visit the castle.

The view is stunning! I love the yellow flowers in the picture.
If you don't like incoherent pictures of old bricks and flowers on walls, stop reading now. Otherwise enjoy the assortment of random pictures I took that day!
