Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria

Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria

Nestled into the alpine foothills near lakes Schwansee and Alpsee, Neuschwanstein Castle is probably Germany’s most famous. Located near Füssen in southwestern Bavaria, the sparkling white fairy tale fortress, built by mad King Ludwig II, inspired Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle. The “Swan King“ began construction in 1869, but experienced no happy-ever-after – before the castle was finished, Ludwig’s body was found in the nearby lake, drowned.
