Trifels Castle Part 1 (September 25, 2010)

We went to Trifels Castle for the first time in September. It is really an amazing place, built high on a mountain peak, overlooking the valley on all sides. The first known mention of this castle was in the year 1081. One of this reasons this castle is one of the most famous here is that King Richard I, otherwise known as Richard the Lionheart, was imprisoned there in 1193. Of course, I have a ton of pictures, so this will be a three part post.
