Yep.. very interesting comments there Bowser. I visited Colditz in December (it was freezing). I was the only person there, stayed the night in the hostel and got a guided tour from a really lovely older lady. She still drove her Trabant. It worked, and she was happy and needed nothing more. From talking to her she seemed a very contented person and I got the impression very happy with a simple life.
I never managed to get to Colditz is it any good? not that it will stop me its one of those bucket list things, just wondered if it was actualy worth the visit
