We are on the road again. Goin' places that we've never been. Seein' things that we may never see again. We can't wait to get on the road again. (Willie Nelson)
Thursday was another holiday, Friday, of course is a day off for many, too - we call such phenomenon 'bridge day', and once again we won't be able to run errands. On the plus side we had a dry spell with up to 16C (61F). So we saddled our 200 or so ponies to collect 'castle badges' on a 300km round-trip.
(B) Satzvey Castle. Let's get medieval!
The moated castle was built in the 14th century on foundations from the 12th century. Today it is rather famous for seasonal knights tournaments, medieval fairs, Halloween parties and a Christmas market.

The owners still live on the premises, and so it has been in the family for the last 300+ years. Tourists are free to roam around except for the areas that are asking for privacy.
That looks like a pretty good show. A bit touristy but I enjoyed the preview video...
ReplyDeleteCastles, we don't have anything like that around here. All of the "historic" stuff is pretty recent.
so we've heard. We missed the festival by a week. On the plus side, it was easy to find parking space and to walk around.
DeleteI really like the horses and especially the one with lights!
ReplyDeleteOh, the employment opportunities. Those white faced guys are an awesome sight! Hard work, no sissies need apply. Entertaining without being corny.
It's a bit crazy as a matter of fact but an entertaining and very successful show. These events are very popular. I am sure you would love it here...
