July 13th

This fairy-tale castle was built in 1869-86 for the eccentric Bavarian King Ludwig II. (Hey Grandkids, what do you know about this castle?) We could not take pictures of the interior of the Castle so google it and see if you can see the interior as we saw it.








This castle was bigger and better than any castle that we have seen. It was MAGNIfICENT! The other castle close by (orange) was his Father's castle and the castle King Ludwig II grew up in

July 13th – We were now headed for Southern Germany to Neuschwanstein. Set amid magnificent mountain scenery, was a beautiful castle overlooked Lake Schwansee (Swan Lake).




Here is a picture of the lake behind our group, and also a view from the castle. From there we had a 40 minute walk up to the castle.
