  • Aerial view of Hessenstein Castle, a historic castle complex surrounded by dense forest. The main building consists of several floors with a steep roof and numerous windows. The architecture is characterized by solid stone construction and smaller outbuildings in the same style.

  • A person holds a burning torch in a dark outdoor setting. The flame glows brightly, casting light onto the face of the person, who is wearing a dark jacket with the word "HIGHLANDS" on it and glasses. The background is barely visible, enhancing the contrast between light and darkness and creating an atmospheric atmosphere.
  • Interior shot of a dining room with wooden ceilings and exposed beams. Several wooden tables and chairs are arranged in rows. Large windows on the left side let in plenty of natural light and are decorated with colorful curtains.
  • View of a historic building of Hessenstein Castle with a stone and wood facade. The windows feature red and white patterned shutters, lending the building a traditional character. A small hedge runs in front of the building, and the paved forecourt is clearly visible.
  • Interior shot of a dining room with several wooden and green chairs and tables. The walls are made of brick and decorated with framed pictures and a coat of arms featuring a red rose and yellow cross. The wooden ceiling features recessed lights, and the floor is tiled.

The participants are wearing outdoor clothing, indicating cool weather. The scene conveys a cozy and communal atmosphere, typical of evening activities or programs at a youth hostel.
