Moritzburg (Near Dresden)

Last weekend, I biked to a place called Moritzburg. It was about a 12km bike to get there. It wasn't really that strenuous of a bike ride, except for the uphill parts. I always gain a tremendous amount of respect for the Tour de France racers every time I struggle up a small hill on a bike. These pros bike up mountains!

Moritzburg was a castle used as a hunting lodge for Duke Moritz of Saxony during the mid 1500's.

These creatures must be related to Canadian Geese. They crap everywhere, and they have a similar annoying squawk.

A garden behind the castle.

The castle is actually situated in the middle of a lake. I'm not quite sure if the lake was built around the castle, or the castle built in the middle of the lake.
