30th November 2008Today is Sunday here and we have decided to go to our nearest tourist attraction place here in Burghausen. As the town has it, its a Castle town where
this small town was created many centuries ago by the people who resides inside the Burghausen Castle itself. For this, i manage to take a step back into the past
by exploring the castle itself and its surrounding buildings. Just for your information, the castle is the longest in Europe measuring 1043m from end to end. Below are all the images that i manage to take and i hope you do enjoy it.

Here is a translation of the sign on the wine hill in front of the castle:
Wine hill [lit. mountain] of Burghausen
Already in early years, conveniently located hill areas in Burghausen and Raitenhaslach were cultivated for the production of wine, hops and dye plants.
In order to partially let this tradition come back to life, the wine hill project was started on the castle hill in a collaboration between the partner community Ptuj in Slovenia and the settlers association Burghausen.
The type [of grape] planted is called "Grauer Spätburgunder" [gray late burgundy].
The harvested grapes are to pressed into "Wine of Burghausen" later.
