Rococo
jewel
of
Germany
and
stunning
beauty,
but
the
tour
option
needs
to
be
improved!
Getting
to
the
castle
by
train
was
fairly
easy,
I
was
quite
surprised
how
close
the
train
station
was
to
the
entrance
of
the
castle,
not
even
100
meter
away
from
the
platform.
The
most
stunning
views
of
the
castle
were
exactly
from
here,
from
the
entrance
-
the
long
checker
design
path
leads
all
the
way
to
the
beautiful
colored
castle
-
that's
what
I
wanted
to
see.
For
visiting
the
castle
I
bought
a
combined
ticket
for
15
€
that
entitled
me
to
visit
both
Augustusburg
and
Falkenlust
castles,
but
I
must
say
I
was
highly
disappointed
with
the
tour!
I
was
only
able
to
participate
in
a
German
speaking
guided
tour
that
lasted
around
one
hour,
for
non-German
speakers
an
audio
guide
was
available
(in
many
languages
and
free
of
charge)
unfortunately
without
headphones
being
provided.
So
there
I
was,
listening
to
the
audio
guide
with
one
ear
and
the
German
guide
with
the
other
ear
not
being
able
to
focus
on
the
explanations
of
either
of
them.
On
top
of
that
the
audio
stories
were
short
(some
of
them
less
than
a
minute)
as
opposed
to
the
guide's
explanation,
so
I
felt
like
I
was
missing
out.
I
could
not
focus
therefore
I
did
not
enjoy
it
and
the
large
group
of
visitors
(at
least
30%
were
non-german
speakers)
murmuring
around
didn't
help
either.
We
were
allowed
to
take
pictures
only
in
3
rooms,
luckily
the
main
staircase
was
one
of
them.
This
room
was
splendid,
an
absolute
marvel
and
a
highlight
of
the
castle,a
very
photogenic
place.
The
summer
dining
room
was
also
quite
beautiful.
As
for
the
rest
of
the
rooms
the
most
interesting
part
of
them
were
the
ceilings,
as
they
were
stunning
and
exceptional.
Each
room
had
different
coloring
and
different
motifs,
however
there
was
not
much
to
see
in
the
rooms
apart
from
the
ceiling
stucco
and
beautifully
decorated
walls,
just
a
few
pieces
of
furniture,
certainly
not
as
much
as
I
expected.
The
library
didn't
even
have
books,
and
if
it
weren't
for
the
tiles
I
would
not
even
recognize
we
visited
a
bathroom.
The
gardens
with
the
fountains
were
nice,
however
I
was
not
amazed
as
they
were
vast
and
spread
out.
Unfortunately
some
parts
were
not
in
the
best
condition
as
the
buxus
disease
stroked
here
too.
I
did
enjoy
the
walk
to
the
Falkenlust
castle,
which
is
around
30
minutes
walking
distance,
the
alleys
leading
there
were
pretty
amazing
(great
wedding
picture
opportunity).
I
did
enjoy
visiting
Falkenlust
castle
as
it
was
less
crowded,
more
compact,
equally
beautiful
and
I
could
explore
the
rooms
on
your
own
with
an
audio
guide.
I
am
giving
5
starts
for
the
beauty
and
historical
meaning
of
the
castle,
but
my
tour
experience
would
be
rated
much
lower.
