Description Hochosterwitz Castle

I love this castle. It's dreamlike. 14 gates before you get to the main castle. Situated on a 160m high Dolomite rock, embedded in a beautiful landscape.

The shot shows only a small quantum of the real beauty. Did I already say that I love this castle?

I made here a HDR out of three RAW-files. The unnatural lock is wanted.

Awesome picture!

Aha, I wish I had a castle like that a bit closer than 2000 miles (probably more, actually)

I seem to recall some eccentric millionare having a European castle dismembered, shipped over here, and rebuilt...

Odd.

Again, great picture.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Why dismember one in europe? Make a trip through europe and see a mass of them . Would be cheaper than the dismemberment .

Here it is! [link]

This rich guy wanted to live in a castle without moving to Europe, I think.

Hey, if you've got the money... xD

Are you serious! This is amazing! It would be a perfect movie scene or something (like LOTR for example ). The unnatural look is very suitable here.

Bandit83 In reply to tilar [2008-12-05 21:36:47 +0000 UTC]

From time to time I'm serious . I'm glad you like it.
It only could play a side scene in a film like LOTR. Nothing goes over Minas Tirith or the Hornburg. For them I would cheat the Hochosterwitz.

In movies they can make anything. They could make Nazguls dragon look really small in comparison and the Hochosterwitz could look huge. Anything is possible, even being serious at times.
