Neuschwanstein Castle

One of my favorite places in Bavaria...so much to see and do in this area..almost magical.This was not the view I was hoping to capture from above but the bridge was closed for renovations and SOOOO many people...next time early LOL. I did not go inside this time as last when I visited this incredible structure with my father and camera in tow 30 years ago...a whirlwind trip of castles and Bavaria in one day!!! Please allow at least a week or two if possible and then you still wont have seen all the beauty this pristine landscape has to offer!!.

What did impress me when I was inside on the last trip was not the glamor and detail of the interior but the view that I saw as I looked out of the window and saw the lake with swans gliding gently through the waters and the boyhood home of King Ludwig called Howenschwangau.....the previous image I posted. The guide informed us that my very favorite artist of all time Leonardo daVinci 's plan of central heating and air was implemented in this structure...what incredible vision for all who had anything to do with the design..!!!

Walt Disney actually modeled his castle after this..if you look really closely you will find two para-sailers ...far braver souls than I would be in this rugged terrain...
