Slot Loevestein
The fourth post in our Netherlands series sends us to Slot Loevestein. This medieval castle played a role in the defense of the Dutch Waterline up through World War II. We spent the day as a family, exploring the castle and the scenic towns surrounding it, while learning about its rich history.
Ha Ha Tonka State Park
Ha Ha Tonka State Park in MIssouri's Ozarks features green forests, lovely vistas, and natural bridges thanks to karst topography. It also protects the ruins of a 1900s European castle.
Český Krumlov
rom the moment we stepped off the bus at the station in Český Krumlov, it felt as though we were stepping into a fairy tale. The sweeping views of a medieval town nestled into rolling hills with the vibrant colors of autumn were like those one could find in a story book. And of course, no fairy tale would be complete without a castle, and the Krumlov Castle does not disappoint. It even has a moat filled not with water, but with bears.
Prague Castle: A Trip Down Golden Lane
In the third post of a five-part series, Emily and I visited Prague Castle and Golden Lane on a warm summer day. We later returned with the family and visited the inside of St. Vitus Cathedral.
