The Breathtaking Bastei

Germany is famous for its many medieval castles and structures. However, none quite compare to The Bastei. This blast from the past is located in Lohmen, Germany, and was constructed during the 11th century, making it one of the oldest remaining structures in the country. Even though the majority of the structure was destroyed by besieging armies over a century ago, people still visit the ruins. Additionally, the Bastei is surrounded by a valley of stunning sandstone mesas, making for quite the spectacle.
