Fairytale Castle in Wernigerode - A weekend in the Harzgebierge - Beautifully Vlogged

Back in February, Gary and I travelled to Germany's magical Harzgebirge for my Grandma's 80th birthday. We stayed there for three days. This is a vlog of our last day in the Harz. In the morning we re-visited the neo-Viking Gustav Adolf Stave Church. We then drove to Wernigerode, where we explored first the medieval town and then it's fairytale castle. Truly one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. Wernigerode Castle is a Schloss located in the Harz mountains above the town of Wernigerode in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The present-day building, finished in the late 19th century, is similar in style to Schloss Neuschwanstein, though its foundations are much older. We ended the day in Goslar, where we had a hot chocolate in a German Gaststätte. _________________ ABOUT THE HARZ The Harz is the highest mountain range in Northern Germany and its rugged terrain extends across parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The name Harz derives from the Middle High German word Hardt or Hart - which translates to mountain forest. The Harz Mountains is the land of German fairy tales: steep-roofed houses with tiny windows and narrow, cobblestone streets, dark forests, rushing streams and stormy mountains. The highest mountain in the Harz is the Brocken, setting for one of the most famous scenes in Goethe's Faust. The devil takes Faust up on the Brocken on Walpurgis Night to tempt him, where he watches a wild night of revelry among the witches and other evil creatures. According to local legend, witches gather on April 30 every year on top of the Brocken for a German version of Halloween. _________________ The video was filmed in February 2016 on my handheld camcorder.
