Der Grazer Schloßberg ist ein wuchtiger Fels aus Dolomitgestein und bildet den Kern der historischen Altstadt von Graz, der Landeshauptstadt der Steiermark in Österreich. Er liegt direkt am Ufer der Mur und ragt 123 m über den Grazer Hauptplatz.
Der Schlossberg, höchster Punkt des Dorfes Castell, trägt seinen Namen von der ursprünglichen Burganlage der Grafen Castell aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Seit 1266 ist der Schlossberg als Weinberg urkundlich erwähnt und sind seine Weine für ihre Güte und unverwechselbaren Geschmack bekannt. Hier wurde 1659 der erste Silvaner in Deutschland gepflanzt. Ganz rechts ist die um 1200 gepflanzte Gerichtslinde zu sehen, wo das Hoch- und Blutgericht der Grafen tagte.

The Schlossberg hill, the highest point of the village of Castell, takes its name from the original castle of the Counts Castell from the 12th century. Since 1266 the Schlossberg has been mentioned in documents as a vineyard and its wines are known for their quality and unique taste. The first Silvaner in Germany was planted here in 1659. On the far right of the picture you can see the court lime tree planted around 1200, where the high and blood court was meeting.

Quedlinburg is a town situated just north of the Harz mountains, in the district of Harz in the west of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In 1994, the castle, church and old town were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Quedlinburg has a population of more than 24,000. The town was the capital of the district of Quedlinburg until 2007, when the district was dissolved. Several locations in the town are designated stops along a scenic holiday route, the Romanesque Road.
In the centre of the town are a wide selection of half-timbered buildings from at least five different centuries (including a 14th-century structure, one of Germany's oldest), while around the outer fringes of the old town are examples of Jugendstil buildings, dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Since December 1994, the old town of Quedlinburg and the castle mount with the Stiftskirche (collegiate church) are listed as one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Quedlinburg is one of the best-preserved medieval and Renaissance towns in Europe, having escaped major damage in World War II.
In 2006, the Selke valley branch of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways was extended to Quedlinburg from Gernrode, giving access to the historic steam narrow gauge railway, Alexisbad and the high Harz plateau.
The castle and Stifstkirche St. Servatius still dominate the town like in the early Middle Ages. The church is a prime example of German Romanesque style. The treasure of the church, containing ancient Christian religious artifacts and books, was stolen by an American soldier but brought back to Quedlinburg in 1993 and is again on display here.
The former Stiftskirche St. Wiperti was established in 936 when the Kanonikerstift St. Wigpertus (of male canons) was moved from the castle hill to make way for what became Quedlinburg Abbey. The church was built at the location of the first Ottonian Royal palace at Quedlinburg. Around 1020, a three-aisled crypt was added to the basilica. The crypt, which survived all later alterations to the church, is also a designated stop on the Romanesque Road today.

Lauenburg is a nice, cozy town in Germany with a beautiful embankment, an old street (Elbstraße) with half-timbered houses, and a small port on the Elbe. Lauenburg is located in Schleswig-Holstein. The barker (Rufer Schlossberg) is the calling card of the city, inviting tourists and ships passing along the Elbe.
