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.

Citadelle of Quebec

The Citadelle of Quebec is an active military installation and official residence of both the Canadian monarch and the Governor General of Canada. It is located atop Cap Diamant, adjoining the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The citadel is the oldest military building in Canada, and forms part of the fortifications of Quebec City, which is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, the other being Campeche, Mexico.

The first fortifications in Quebec were built by the Governor General of New France Louis de Buade, and completed just in time for the Battle of Quebec in 1690.

After the British conquest in the second half of the 18th century, the problem of Quebec City's defences grew more acute.
