Well, I’ll be posting a little out of order over the next
few weeks but for good reason….my momma is here!! And finding time to keep
track of our recent travels is a bit scarce and I’m ok with that!!
On our recent trip to
Germany, we were able to visit the world famous and gorgeous Neuschwanstein Castle. We visited on a crisp
and clear day which was just what I was hoping for. Built by King Ludwig II in
the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, it is definitely a sight to behold. Van was
feeling a little under the weather (to say the least) on the day of our visit
so we opted to take the horse carriage ride up the steep slope to the castle
gates.
We took the guided tour of the Castle and while brief, I’m
glad we did. While we were unable to take photos within the castle walls, but let
me tell you, the interior was beautiful. Filled with swans, lots of gold, and
incredible intricate details it was one of the most ornate castles we have seen…..and
we only saw a small piece of it. Unfortunately, King Ludwig died while the castle
was still being finished and it has been left unfinished. But I think he would be
happy that so many people flock to see his dream castle.
I wasn’t able to get the ‘money shot’ of the castle from the
super sketchy suspension bridge, but I am very happy with our experience and
that we had such a gorgeous white setting.
Aren't the views just incredible?
I feel so fortunate to have had such a beautiful day to view this beautiful castle! Fairytale? I think so...
