Tower:  “Do you know which airport you are at?”

Pilot: “Ermm, I think so…”

Forrest is a tiny hamlet in Western Australia.
According to the 2006 census, it had a population of 18.
It is a railway station on the Trans-Australian Railway and lies on the longest stretch of straight railway track in the world (478 kilometre/297 mi length)

The red line in the screenshot indicates the straight track

Forget the airport, it is the railway that is special… 🙂

First of all: sorry for the inconveniences regarding this contest.
I had to do it from my iPad and as it turned out, the WordPress app is far from bug-free. The schedule function did not work properly and as a result the hint was not published until today, when I fired up the app again.

It is the Wewelsburg Castle in Germany. Again a triangular castle, constructed in the early 1600’s and acted in WWII as the headquarters of the SS

The castle is said to have been the inspiration for the Wolfenstein games.

the picture for a langer version

This is one of the few triangular castles ever built.
It is Caerlaverock Castle, originally constructed in the 13th
century and nowadays a popular tourist attraction.
