Euro Trip 2013 - Germany - Schloß Seehof & Theresienstein

On our way home to Gefrees from Bamberg, Elisabeth took me to see Schloß Seehof. During the summer months this castle is surrounded by beautiful gardens and fountains which lead down to the Altsee. The day I was there was a little different the flowers were in greenhouses and the fountains were turned off and drained so they wouldn't freeze. But the castle sitting on the hill of snow really made the castle's colours come alive.

The following day Elisabeth took me to her work in Hof. On our drive it the temperature was -18 C but minus the cold it made for a beautiful sunrise. We were at Elisabeth's work for a couple of hours. She toured me around the grounds and introduced me to co-workers then we headed into Hof for lunch. After lunch we stopped off in at a park called Theresienstein which is one of the oldest citizen parks in Germany. It also won the most beautiful park in Germany award in 2003 so I plan on a summer visit of Theresienstein next time.
