Pfalzgrafenstein 4K - Germany

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Pfalzgrafenstein is a fortification on a small island of the River Rhine in Western Germany, roughly halfway between (upstream) Mainz and (downstream) Koblenz.  Seen in this drone video by Never Stop Exploring, it was erected in the early 14th century on the orders of Ludwig the Bavarian, shortly before he became Holy Roman Emperor.  Its original purpose was to collect tolls on river traffic, which it could impose by virtue of the cataracts just downstream which would require ships to pass between the fortress and the mainland.
