July 14th

July 14th - On a small island on Lake Chiemsee, King Ludwig built his 3rd Castle. We had to take a boat to the island and then walk about 20 minutes to the castle.






The outside of the castle did not look fancy like his last castle we say which was his 2nd castle that he finished, Neu Schwanstein, but this castle had some spectacular fountains in front of it. Only about 1/3 of the interior was finished before he ran out of money but what was finished was magnificent!

Try to see what you can learn about King Ludwig II and if you can see any of the interior of this castle.

After visiting the castle we drove to Salzburg, Austria and spent the night.
