#summerdream Marienberg Castle is located on a hill by the Main River on the west side of Wurzburg. Since it is on a hill, if you want to walk across the bridge from the old town, you have to walk up the hill again. It takes quite a while. But there is a parking lot here. For those who rent a car, it is very convenient to stop by. As for the entrance fee, if you just walk around the castle in the central courtyard and the surrounding gardens, it is free. But if you want to see the inside, you have to buy a ticket with a guide to take you around. But when we went, there was no English-speaking guide. The tour was all in German, so we just wanted to see around for free. The castle was built around the 8th century as a small fortress. Then, the Marienkapelle Church, which is a circular structure, was built. It is considered the oldest church in southern Germany. The castle itself was built around the 12th century. In addition to the inside of the castle walls, the flower garden on the side is also very beautifully arranged. Moreover, the outer walls offer a clear view of the Main River and the old town on the opposite side. It is a place where anyone who wants a panoramic view of the city must come.

We climbed the fortress just to take a panoramic view of the old town, so there was no plan to visit the inside of the fortress. But after stopping the car, I went in the wrong direction and went to the back of the fortress, so I saw more scenery. The outer wall of the castle overlooks the entire city on the other side of the river. It is very beautiful and is a postcard perspective! Ascending the fortress, the red roof of the entire city was laid out in front of you, only to understand why it was called "Little Prague". Because, not only the Main Bridge is similar to the Charles Bridge in Prague, but even the obelisk in front of the Church of the Virgin appears in the same way and in the same way as the Obelisk in front of the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague Castle, as if it were a twin brother. The River Maine is flowing slowly and has a quiet and peaceful scene. It is hard to imagine that 70 years ago, there was a heavy blow to the war. Now the phoenix is nirvana, and the citizens here continue to live a slow life with a happy index. Even if the weather is not good, it is still a fairytale romantic city picture. The Main River, the Old Bridge, the main church, the Church of the Virgin, and the New Munster Church, which we have just walked through, have a panoramic view, including our hotel. When I saw the vineyards under the mountains, I remembered the wines that are as famous as the beer. The road down the mountain is also part of the Vineyard Roaming Road. I heard that there are many locals on the hillside who come to the picnic in the summer. I thought of that time, as long as the weather is good, the road should be far away.

It takes a lot of time to turn back and hover up, which is time-consuming and laborious; the other road is directly from the hillside, which is relatively fast. After crossing the bridge, you need to turn right, then go left and see where there is a signpost.
