Luitpoldstrasse 1 Füssen, Romantic Road, Bavaria, Germany, 87629, 8362-9040
We stopped on the way to the castles to climb to the top of the castle above our campsite, which gave us a nice view of the green lake below. We reached the castles in Germany after lunch but due to the fact that they both closed at 5pm, we decided to choose one to do a tour. My favorite by far was the Neuschwanstein, which I had seen in photos and heard that the Disneyland castle was inspired by. We learned a lot about Ludwig II ...
Füssen, Bavaria, Germany armajor7... Wollmeise yarn shop is only open on Fridays and Saturdays....in Pffaffenhoffen an der Ulm, and we were driving the opposite direction. It would have been much smarter to drive to Legoland, through Pffaffenhofen, of course, and do that first, then the castles. Oh well, too late. So, amid tears... well, mine, anyway, we headed south. What a beautiful drive! I loved the pastoral vistas and think I could live here quite happily ...
Füssen, Bavaria, Germany pentakus... The Schloss is the last stop on the Romantic Road in Germany. There were many Japanese tourists, which was fun for us to see. Unfortunately one side of the castle was under repair, but it was still beautiful to see the castle in its lush surroundings.
Hohenschwangau, Bavaria, Germany fiseb... too.
The rest of the tour took us to Linderhof castle and Neuschwanstein castle. What magical looking places they were. Neuschwanstein is the castle Walt Disney uses the sillohette of at the start of his movies. Anyway, after the trip it was back to Munich for a day or so and then on the plane home.

Füssen, Germany laytonandjanaDa es den ganzen Tag regnet wird unser Kamelritt auf Sonntag (morgen) verschoben und wir verbringen den Tag im Hotel. Er beginnt mit einem hervorragenden Frühstücksbuffet. Allerdings ist das Hotel ausgebucht und scheinbar wollen alle Gäste gleichzeitig frühstücken; es ist also recht viel los und man muss teilweise ein paar Minuten auf einen freien und aufgeräumten Tisch warten. Gegen Mittag begeben wir uns dann zur Vital-Insel. Das ist eine günstige Zeit - wir sind sowohl im ...
Füssen, Germany ruth-chrisBefore leaving Munich there was one other site that I wanted to see, the Asam Kirche. The Asam brothers built this church back in the 1700's and it is over-the-top. The amount of gold and decorations in the church is amazing. It is terribly small, but really cool to see. It isn't far from the other sites downtown and the smallness is a nice change from the huge overbearing churches in Germany. Today we said goodbye to Judy and Katie while mom, dad, Alex and I ...
Füssen, Germany kacampauAnother work conference for my parents brought us to Oberammergau for a week. We stayed in the cutest little wooden cottage - like the whole thing ceiling to floor and including flowering window boxes was made out of wood! Totally picturesque like you've read about in Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Aromatic town bakery. Absolutely enchanting.
Oberamergau, Bavaria, Germany lolly
Today we drove up into the mountains to see the fairy tale castle, Neuschwanstein. This is another of Ludwig's castles, this one unfinished, and served as the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle. It ...
... napkins.
We toured Linderhof, one of crazy King Ludwig's castles. It's the only one that was finished before he died. Even though it wasn't sunny, Rick made some gorgeous pictures.
