Review
this castle
| Stuart Phelan, 23, from Charleston, South Carolina |
| I found Schwarzenberg to be a spot of particular
interest. Besides the fairytale castle and setting, nestled in the
Erzgebirge only minutes from the Czech border, the little town also
offers charm and a fascinating history. A tiny community of Schwarzenberg was an independent country for a few
months following World War II. Both the United States and USSR
"forgot" about the little village when drawing up the division
zones for occupation. The townspeople took advantage of the
situation and drew up their own constitution, establishing their own
republic. This city-state was short lived, however, and the Soviet
Union moved in several months later to claim the territory, incorporating
it into the DDR. The hotel in the town is very clean, well furnished, and charming. |
