::vianden::

it's not your plan to visit here but while driving your way to germany, he suggests to en-route vianden for a brief visit, after all you talked about this place for years and actually made plan to visit last easter but cancelled eventually due to the extreme cold winter you had last year.

 the castle is located in a small village tucked in the border of germany and luxembourg.

 the weather was fine, typically spring weather with chilled wind and changing of light

 but you loved the fresh air and the space, and you feel relaxed and disconnected, even though you're still tired

 the river bank reminded you of arashiyama of kyoto

 although the statue reminds you that you're in europe

and it's just tranquil and peaceful...
vianden is not necessary a town that you will come all the way just for the castle but you do find your space and freedom here, even though it's just a brief stopover.
