Slowly getting OT.
Forget alpine coasters! Look at Thuringia. I was born in Gotha, and we often hiked here with the family: where the "Drei Gleichen" are. The English explanation is not correct! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichen
This is the real reason for the designation:
"According to legend, the term three equals came about after a ball lightning struck on May 31, 1231, after which the castles are said to have burned like three equal torches."
The castles are: Burg Gleichen, Mühlburg, Veste Wachsenburg
View from the Mühlburg to the castle of Gleichen (I took such a picture myself, but I can't find it.)
