Beautiful Llano River

The Community of Castell was founded on the Llano River in 1847 as a western outpost of German settlement.  The community has survived the passing of time and is today a small hamlet  of around 15 occupants dominated by the Stone Church Building, Old School House, and weekend cabins.  The  General Store provides basic groceries and serves up tasty Bar-B-Q and burgers on selected days.

Flyfishing and kayaking have become popular pass times.  Fishing equipment is available and kayaks can be rented at the store in easy walking distance from the Castell Cottage.

Other activities include  bicycling the many local back roads, swimming and splashing in the shallows of the river and site seeing some of the most rugged and spectacular landscape in the Texas Hill Country.  This is even more spectacular when the wild flowers are at their peak in March through May.
