Schloss Vollrads liegt im hessischen Rheingau auf einer Höhe von 160 Metern etwa zwei Kilometer vom Rheinufer entfernt. Das Wahreichen des Schlosses ist der wuchtige Wohnturm. Er wurde auf römischen Fundamenten errichtet und ist von einem idyllischen Weiher umgeben. Seit dem 14. Jahrhundert war Vollrads Wohnsitz der Familie von Greiffenclau. Heute zählt Schloss Vollrads als eines der ältesten Weingüter der Welt. Der Handel mit Wein ist seit dem Jahr 1211 dokumentiert.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
