Vital Hotel Wiedemann Füssen

... the place in the decorations. After our tour, we decided to walk/hike up to the bridge where we could see a lot of people taking photos. It was well worth it as the view is most likely the same one that we saw in all the photos-the leaves were just starting to change color and in a couple more weeks would have been spectacular. They were still great colors now, though. After our 7 Euro parking fee!, we saw a night of canned food ...

... between the villages of Hopfen and Hopferau, was operated by the farmer's family Kuhn, who also rented spacious vacation apartments to the region's visitors. The fully furnished apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom, and had an exit to the garden that we stayed at was about 90 sqm in size, and cost EUR 74 per night. We had a direct view of Castle Neuschwanstein from our location.

The farm had 27 cows of which 20 were milk producing and ...

We take a last daytrip together to beautiful, fairy tale Schloss Neuschwanstein. Fiona had visited before, but it was still a lovely day out together, and probably one of the last castles we will visit...we're definitely feeling a bit castled out.

This was a lovely little place we stopped at on the bus tour to the castles. Unfortunately, being Sunday, most everything was shut (except for the souvenir shops that is). They have a woodcarving school there that I plan to stop at for a weeklong course on the next trip. But of course it was shut that ...

Hello Everyone! A very quick entry! We are in Füssen, right at the Austrian border! It is such a nice little town, mountains all around, and very near the castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. We visited them both today and had a like hike through the mountains. It was VERY warm and crystal clear skies, so the views were unbelieveable! Tomorrow, we are heading down to Münich for our final ...

... 40 degrees). While I was in the castle, I noticed bits of snow in the rain. This evening before I went to bed, I could hear the snow pelt the window of my room. The hotel I had stayed on this evening was just as nice as the other place in Fussen, except the rooms were more spacious and well separated so I didn't hear any noise from the hallway (I did at the Hotel Hirsch-mostly due to the marble floors). I could have stayed another night easily. Ciao

... one could see a gorgeous mountain lake nestled between the peaks and another palace (Schloß Hohenschwangau, the one built by Ludwig's father) overlooking the placid waters. Unreal. I milled about for a little while near the entrance of the castle before my tour started. It was another fantastic early fall day, crisp, but not too cool with the sun shining brightly overhead. It reminded me of one of those perfect Saturday afternoons when, as a nine year old, we would take the ...

Another 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.

... gorgeous and the views of it and from it are breathtaking.



After our tour we drove to Kempten and stayed at the Peterhof downtown. This was our first room with a tv...all German stations, of course!

We went by car to Mittenwald and got at room at the Hotel Post. It was a nice room, but very narrow. It reminded me of a train compartment. There was a hail storm and it was rainy and cloudy. I bought ...
