I'd never heard of Predjama Castle (Slovenia) before.  It's built into a cliff cave (similar to Mesa Verde), how cool is that!  8)

I knew the castle from the Highlander movies at first sight. I have a 24"x36" of Neuschwanstein on my bedroom wall. I'd love to have Bodiam or Osaka castle. :D

Sir Rodney, I believe Predjama was a spot that Ghost Adventures / Ghost Hunters has been to. I know they did a castle in a cliff, and I believe it was Romanian / Hungarian. Ghost Hunters recently did a 17th century castle yesterday, but I missed the episode.
