This castle is located in the middle of the Rhine near the town of Kaub.

At this castle the skippers had to pay toll in order to continue sailing. From this point on, the Rhine narrows significant and squeezes itself trough the valley "Middle Rhine" which is a world heritage from UNESCO. The current in this traject untill the town of Koblenz is very strong and there are treacherous shallows on the rocky bottom and that's why there were also taken river pilots on board.

Note the building of the castle, which has the shape of a ship to withstand the very strong current at high water and ice floes.

A note about today's inspiration:

"Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe."
