Altrathen Castle stands on a hill above buildings in Rathen, Germany, along the Elbe River.
The castle dates to the 11th century and was built below the Bastei, a rock formation rising
about 650 feet above the river (or about 1,000 feet above sea level) in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
Additional photos from The Bastei and Germany are in my Cities gallery.
