Journey to Swan Lake
... crisp mountain air and an ancient castle. You may think we would be 'castled' out by now, but that is because you may not have seen this castle before. Perched atop a sheer mountain cliff overlooking the lake is the castle. Whilst the building itself may not cause you to stop in your tracks, the view certainly will. Of course as with all great views there is a price to be paid, in this case that price could probably be referred to as the rather ...

I managed to find a great sushi restaurant not far from the river. Aftwewards I took some beers at some of the bars next to the river. The view was beautiful, and so was the atmosphere.
