Story · Burg Meersburg

You're standing at Burg Meersburg, also known as the Old Castle. And old it is: it's considered one of the oldest inhabited castles in Germany. Look at how it sits on that rocky outcrop above Lake Constance. On the water side it towers over the lower town. On the upper town side it's almost level with the streets. It was probably built to guard the ferry landing below.
