Pictures of Switzerland -- Castle 2

So this is the second castle I visited in Switzerland so far: the Munot.
It's a pretty awesome place!


(The first view from a distance)


(The outer towers with the arrow slits, wavy munitions and courtyard)


(The bulk of the fort; my mom and her long-time friend are on the bridge)


(They have deer in the meadows)


(The spectacular ground floor of the fortress; it's awesome how the light shines down in the fresh air and seems to flicker when your voice echoes across the cavern... Sorry for the blurry picture...)


(The stairway leading through the castle; sorry for another blurry picture)


(An amazing panorama)


(The tower atop the burg overlooking Schaffhausen)


(This picture shows the intricate details of the cannon)



(They were having a wedding at the crest of the castle)


(Another final view of the courtyard/moat)


Anyway, those were the best pictures I got of this castle so far. I still have a couple more to add later. Keep posted :).
