The Volerie des Aigles
Not Quite.
The Construction of Castle Kintzheim* was started in 1250 and Completed in the 15th Century.
It was partially destroyed in the Alsace Campaign in 1945 and the Ruins were declared a Historical Monument in 1964
But it's History since 1965 that has brought us here.
BIRDS!
Beautiful Raptors
These Birds are Enormous.
THEY were the Stars of the Show
And THEY knew it !
The Ruined Castle is Their Domain
and they were certainly anxious to Stretch their wings and Soar above it
Swooping in to Thrill the Crowd
Anxious not to miss getting any really good photographs of these Spectacular Birds in Flight
I set my Camera to "Sports" Mode
and hoped for the best!
I was not disappointed with the result.
Our Day had come to an end in Spectacular style
but not wishing to miss the last Shuttle down the mountain,
we had to reluctantly leave.
It was actually nice to leave mid show -
seeing the Birds Soaring Freely above in the Clear Blue Sky.

Getting back to where the Bus dropped us was a 10 minute Hike up a Bush Track.
It is not possible to bring large Vehicles to the Castle and we were not totally convinced that we had been dropped at the right spot, with no signposts to direct us!
It was so much easier going back
as we at least had an Idea as to where we were headed!
And from here on it is back to Strasbourg to get ready for our next adventure!
