albireo_double Posted November 21, 2015 Share #15681 Posted November 21, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Michael, I am not aware of that legend. There is another legend, though: the castle was besieged in the early 15th century. The defenders were starving, yet managed to convince the attackers to go away by pretending they were having a banquet inside the castle - they even offered the attackers their last pork head, together with a barrel of wine. The castle is set in a valley, unlike most other castles. There is a canyon leading away from it that has sandstone rocks, some with carved-out dwellings. The whole area is known for its sandstone rocks and pine forests, a kind of "Paradise" -- and that is giving you a hint (in fact it would give you a big hint if you knew my nationality, which is not Austrian...).

Bill Livingston Posted November 24, 2015 Share #15688 Posted November 24, 2015 Hmmm... Difficult. Not sure what I have that isn't either too obvious or too difficult. I'll try this... I can give clues if it proves to be a bad choice... Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Bill Livingston Posted November 25, 2015 Share #15694 Posted November 25, 2015 No... Sorry. The moment I posted that I realised that would be the suggestion, but I didn't get time to edit it. I was checking to see if the location was midway between China and NZ so I could give a clever clue... (It's not, but that will help anyway). I should have taken heed of an old teacher..."it never pays to try to be too clever". Apologies. Misleading reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted November 25, 2015 Share #15695 Posted November 25, 2015 It doesn't matter as I wouldn't have a mystery picture to show for the next round. I just thought it looked like a set of one of the Middle-Earth movies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Livingston Posted November 25, 2015 Share #15696 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Apologies anyway. (I struggled on finding a suitable photo, too. Embarrassingly, SO many of my photos from around the world are simply too obvious, cliches really. If nothing else, this has taught me to be a little more imaginitive next time we are away somewhere).
