N?rburg is a castle ruin standing since 11th century. In presence belongs to this castle a small village with around 200people living there.
This all is posted in the heart of Germany between Colon and Koblenz, in Eiffel mountains.
In this place is almost the whole year cold and rainy, sometimes in summer it can be hot.
Why should be this place so interesting you ask?
