The castle of King Ludwig II, Neuschwanstein, was the inspiration for the first and the site of the second and it was on my 'bucket list' of places to see ever since my first visit to Europe in 1969. I finally made 44 years later on day 19.
The castle is located in Hohenschwangau, in the Bavarian Alps of Germany. I did not walk up the hill but took the tram. Here are my many views, starting the day in the fog and seeing it clear by afternoon. (My first picture of the castle from the Marienbrucke (Marie's Bridge) is a great shot of fog. Just a smudge and fog, lol)
This is not the only castle in the area. There is also Hohenschwangau castle. Imagine having two castles in the same town within shouting distance of each other.
And just to prove I was there.
On my Bucket List: The Netherlands
