Schloss Neuschwanstein

One of the main reasons why we chose to go to Munich on this trip was to go see Schloss Neuschwanstein. SV is very much into castles and princesses, and Neuschwanstein is as fairy tale of a castle as can be. After all it served as the inspiration for the castle at Disneyland.

We really had a lot of fun at the castle, including the drive there. It was quite a magical trip as it was mostly shrouded in fog which got quite thick before thinning out to reveal the castle. Similarly on the way home as we were leaving the fog came up again obscuring the castle as if by some magic.

We had fun looking at the beautiful Swan Lake where King Ludwig and his doctor were found drowned after the king spent most of the state's money building the castle.We took a horse drawn carriage up to the castle and then we walked the rest of the way uphill having fun along the whole trip.
