Burg Frankenstein / Frankenstein Castle

 So I just got back from my native town Darmstadt and all my “enterprises” seem to turn out right now.
 I am keeping my fingers crossed.
 The guys that are building up the scaffolds are just great and some of them look as they could appear in the Chippendales show :)
 One evening I was invited at my friends home in Eberstadt - one the feet of Frankenstein Castle - for a BBQ. Her cat catched o mouse  and was playing with it until .... what ever :(  Well - that´s nature :/
 Cat still playing with the half murdered mouse - awfull - but thats the way it is - and quite helpfull if you live at the country site
 
In between appointments I had the chance to slip out for an hour or two, so I went to one of my favorite places near my hometown – and it is “Frankenstein Castle” in Eberstadt, which is a suburb of Darmstadt.
 Had lunch there with one of my dearest and oldest friends and her georgious daughter Annika.
 That is Annika - sneaking out between the ruins of Frankenstein Castle.
 
People all around the world are visiting this place – making researches about ghosts or whatever (you can find some videos on youtube about ghost busters). I recommend visiting this place. It has a certain atmosphere and if you are lucky – the view can be marvelous – all the way to Frankfurt and the Taunus area and the restaurant is also quite o.k. with a good menu card, reasonable prices and good quality. Frankenstein Castle also became famous with a festival during Halloween
 This day we had a great view to the city of Frankfurt and the Taunus.

When I was a child my beloved grandfather used to take me there sometimes on our regular Sunday walk before lunch. For me it was not connected with the horror story of Mary Shelley. In fact I was surprised to find out about the films and the story. But still this has no impact on me or on my approach to this place.
