I recently visited Kloster Lorch Castle and I’m thrilled to give it a 5-star rating! This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful castles in the Baden-Württemberg region. The view from the castle is absolutely stunning, offering a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding area. The castle is impeccably maintained, with beautifully landscaped gardens and well-preserved historical features. Every corner of Kloster Lorch is steeped in history and charm, making it a delightful place to explore. If you’re in Baden-Württemberg, Kloster Lorch Castle is a must-visit. The combination of its historical significance, stunning views, and immaculate upkeep makes it a truly exceptional destination.

Nice location, bird show was good, but location would need some renovation. Coffee shop in the Kloster should provide more options of food - we came at 4pm and cake was already empty, coffee machine did not properly work

On my opinion price is little bit higher. Really I didn't understand for what I pay 6 euro. Area near monastery is more interesting than monastery.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
