I hear singing from the basement...

Making music and singing together is a very important part of every IMWe. Every evening the old vaulted basement of the castle fills up with participants chatting and singing together. Many of the most popular songs are found in the Castle Songbook of Rieneck Castle, with its own pages for different scout groups and events.

To help you find and remember your favourite pieces from our Songbook we've published the list of songs below:
