Richard Löwenherz Fest

Today we drove about an hour to the village of Annweiler am Trifels for their Richard the Lionheart festival. Richard the Lionheart was held captive at Trifels Castle near Annweiler for a huge randsom. The clocks turn back during this weekend in Annweiler to the Middle Ages and features a medieval market. We enjoyed walking around this adorable village while listening to authentic medieval music and watching show fights, archery, a puppetry and much more. It was also fun going by each booth and watching goldsmiths, potters, cloth-weavers, knife sharpeners and other craftsmen presenting their arts and crafts. We also got to enjoy lots of delicious food!. It is € 6 for adults to enter the festival.   
Address: Altenstrasse 10, 76855 Annweiler am Trifels

Came across this on our walk to the festival and really wanted it for Rand's room, lol.
