4.0 out of 5 stars
Solidly interesting; not the usual fluff
Plenty of travel videos might as well be written by the local chamber of commerce, with no depth and way too many superlatives. This video, put together by The Learning Channel, is quite different. It doesn't simply show the castles, but explains the historical context in which they were important. There's also plenty of anecdotes, such as the minor "miracle"...

What do you know?
Your editorial review said: "Then, on Wallachia [...] better known as Transylvania". That's like saying: Nevada, better known as California. Romania had three major provinces: Moldavia was the third one. Vlad Tepes/ Vlad The Impaler/ Dracula ruled in Wallachia. However, he was born in Transylvania.

This review is from: Great Castles of Europe: Germany & Romania [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Plenty of travel videos might as well be written by the local chamber of commerce, with no depth and way too many superlatives. This video, put together by The Learning Channel, is quite different. It doesn't simply show the castles, but explains the historical context in which they were important. There's also plenty of anecdotes, such as the minor "miracle" that caused the Marksburg on the Rhine to be so named.If you're planning a trip to any of these areas, watching this video will both show you the region and give you some background with which to appreciate it.
