One of the most truly romantic places to stay on the RR, part of Harburg Castle has been transformed into a very comfortable hotel which combines the ancient architecture of this millennium-old burg with antique furniture and 21st-century plumbing. All of the rooms are different and some have idyllic views of the castle courtyard and the surrounding hills.
