Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau




As we returned to the Fuessen/Reutte area, we drove by one of the most famous sites in Germany. I can remember putting together a puzzle of Neuschwantstein years ago and thinking is was one of the beautiful things. Of course, the truth is that it's not that old and is the romantic idea of a mentally unstable monarch. In fact, it's not completely finished. It's still one of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen. Hohenschwangau was the family home. A lot of people prefer to tour this one as it has a lot of history attached. May is still the off season. I can only imagine how crowded it must be in July.
