The well of castle Aggstein
You can see me sitting on one of the most important places of any castle: The well. Without having fresh water any castle would not be able to survive a siege for long, so it was crucial for any castle built during medieval times.

Castle Aggstein
Overlooking the Danube valley is castle Aggstein, which has been built in the 14th century to collect customs duty from ships passing by on the river. Today the castle is not inhabited anymore, but it can be visited and is well worth the 5 Euro entrance fee.

At the foot of Dürnstein castle
On the upper right you can see some remains of Dürnstein castle, which nowadays is nothing more than a ruin with only a few walls left. In the past this castle was quite big, protecting the entrance to the Wachau valley. Dürnstein castle is famous, because it was also the place where King Richard of England, called "Lionheart", was kept as prisoner until a big sum of ransom was paid.
