Kaltenberg Knight Tournament

In July we saw again a knight tournament. This time it was in Kaltenberg (between Munich and Stuttgart, about two hours drive from us). Many of the riders and knights are professional stuntmen, so they were really going for it. As it turned out all of them were from France, with the exception of a lone Austrian. The foot soldiers were Czech. Lances were broken on a regular basis, and they unseated each other as well. I thought that the bad guy, the "Black Knight" was the best. Both kids, but especially Mark was in heaven. After the tournament, the kids were doing various trials, and obstacles, after which both of them were knighted. There was also a nice medieval market, with lots of cool stuff. Please see below, some really cool jousting video, Victoria and Mark being knighted.
