N8 was able to go here with the "Wounded Warriors" on Halloween. Ida-Oberstein is the gem capitol of Germany. All the stores in town sell different types of gems. This is a picture of a museum that has all sorts of gems inside.
The chapel that is seen below is built halfway inside the mountain and halfway outside on a cliff. You have to go through a cave to even get into the chapel. Half of the building is just rock on the inside. The walls are just mountain.
Here is a picture of N8 with the city behind him.
There are two castles in that city. One is a schloss (palace - for royalty) and one is a burg (stronghold/fort - for soldiers). This one below is a schloss.
This picture is of the burg.
This picture was taken at the burg. It was really high up. N8 held his camera over the edge to take a picture straight down to see how high up they were.
This monument is on a pathway leading to the castles. You can see how beautiful Germany is in the fall. All of the leaves are changing colors.
