ting2 My sister is going to the north Germany for a trip now, and we are finding the interesting stories or terrible stories about the castles she are going to visit. We have found out only the fairy tales stories about the cities, and these are not enough for us.
Maybe there are some interesting books about the anecdotes or some terrible affairs about the stories in the castles which is near to the Weser river.
Is there any book that we could find out?
ipflo hi
i think it will be difficult to find a nice book with anecdotes and interesting stories about castles in the weser area, which is in english. in german it would be easier i think, but i cannot recall a titel or so. i think the nicest book near the subject is a book in german about the weser and the renaissance, which probably will also cover some castles and has some nice stories (well at least pictures i think): Die Weser und die Weserrenaissance. Eine Bildreise.

This are the urls of the german amazon concerning castles and palaces, most books are ofcourse in german

I hope there are more people on the site, who can help with this question.

ipflo maybe you can send an email to the tourist organisation of Hameln, maybe they can help you find a good book about the subject.
