<p>When building a castle, access to sufficient water is one of the most important points to consider.<br />
The builders of Ryzmburk Castle in Bohemia certainly took this into account. And so they diverted water from a spring directly into the castle. You can see this access point here. I am quite sure that this spring was one of the main reasons for building the castle in exactly this location.<br />
Even after more than 700 years, the water is still flowing. To me, as a layperson, this looks like good planning.<br />
<br />
Wenn man eine Burg baut ist der Zugang zu ausreichend Wasser einer der wichtigsten Punkte, die es zu berücksichtigen gilt. <br />
Das haben natürlich auch die Erbauer der Burg Ryzmburk in Böhmen bedacht. Und so haben sie das Wasser einer Quelle direkt in die Burg umgeleitet. Diesen Zugang seht Ihr hier. <br />
Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass diese Quelle einer der Hauptgründe war, die Burg exakt an dieser Stelle zu bauen. <br />
Auch nach mehr als 700 Jahren fliesst das Wasser noch immer. Das sieht für mich als Laie nach einer guten Planung aus.</p>
