The Romantic Road and Grimm brothers' fairy tales

For those of you who enjoyed the Grimm brothers' fairy tales as children, the following photos depict locations and buildings that inspired the stories.

Sababurg Castle - (Sleeping Beauty's Castle). Apparently when the current owners purchased the property it was overgrown with roses, as it also was in the fairy tale.

Rapunzel's Tower (complete with plait hanging from the top floor). A woman may have been incarcerated here in the distant past.
View from the tower.
Snow White

"Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go."

Snow White's house -in reality someone was poisoned here.
Nothing to do with fairy tales.
