Neuschwanstein Castle on Romantic Road

July 29, 2012

The following day, we continued on the Romantic Road to Neuschwanstein Castle. We were very lucky. It started raining hard on our way to the castle on the bus but it stopped raining when we arrived at the castle.
The castle has magnificent landscape surrounding it.  We saw the castle from the Marien bridge, this was a good point for taking pictures of the castle.

The castle is famous as the model of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland. It was not built as strategic but instead was built as a kind of a fairytale's castle to satisfy King Ludwig who yearned to be like a king in the medieval era. The king wanted to escape from the reality of life.

This is the Marien bridge from the castle. 

We took a tour to see the inside of the castle. Very crowded to enter

A beautiful scenery from the hill

I bought Feiler's Neuschwanstein Castle towels.

How cute they are!

By the way, I was also very impressive by many houses with solar power systems on their roofs in the countryside of Germany.
