This is the old town hall in Munich. The new town hall has a very famous carillon on the outside. It is a mechanical clock, where small figures come out every time the clock strikes the hour, and they turn round and round and do a mock joust. People stand outside the building and wait for the clock to chime, just so they can see it perform. |

Some of the mountains you drive through in Germany have really beautiful old castles. This is the castle of Neuschwanstein, set in the hills above a small lake. It looks like the kind of castle you would have in a fairy story, and it was built to look that way. It is quite a recent castle, only a few hundred years old. Very old castles were built to keep out attackers, and they are a lot more solid. |
