Fussen Tour last part; Germany's Signature Landmark, Neuschwanstein Castle

Central Europe 6th part: 5-days in traveling solo in Germany
October 20 to October 24, 2013


After I paid my tickets to both castles, I decided to enter first Hohenschwangau Castle at 1155H then the Neuschwanstein Castle at 1355H with 355 steps from the ground.

Neuschwanstein Castle (Schloss Neuschwanstein), New Swanstone Castle, is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as a homage to Richard Wagner. The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was opened to the paying public immediately after his death in 1886. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and later, similar structures.
