A visit to Neuschwanstein Castle is mandatory when in Germany. This fairy-tale castle is epicly gorgeous. And the view is as great as they come. If I was a crazy king who wanted to bankrupt my country this is exactly where I would have chosen to built my castle as well…

I went to this castle on my trip to Europe back in 2007, and I loved it so much. It still is one of my most favorite castles. Unfortunately at that time I didn’t have a proper camera to take photos of the magnificent structure — if only I had started blogging back then.

I know how you feel. I had a terrible camera when I first started traveling too. Oh well. You are doing a great job now!!!
It is a beautiful castle. It has one heck of a walk up the mountain though. Do you remember that?

That’s a great view. Edinburgh castle isn’t very pretty but it is certainly imposing and has an incredible location on the top of an extinct volcano. This gives two great views, one from the castle down and one from anywhere in the city centre up! I’m lucky enough to be able to see it at close range out of my office window as I type!

Wow. That’s awesome. I have visited that castle too. It does have a magnificent view. And the view from the river bed is even better. Great example. It’s fun to visit the shops on the way too.

Belvedere Castle in Central Park. Here are some photos:

Now when I was in the Army I was stationed in Germany and I did see some castles but that was back in the late 1970s before digital cameras and who knows what happened to all the photos I took back then!! After 35 – 40 years stuff begins to disappear! However if I do find those old pictures I will share. Thanks!

I want to visit this castle so badly! Do you know where one might lodge in the area? are there other sights to see nearby?

It’s been a while since I was there but I would be surprised if there weren’t nice hotels nearby since it is such a tourist draw. Visiting the Black Forest would be worth it and also Lake Constance when the flowers are in bloom. I would love to do that again! Thanks for the comment. Great to hear from you again.

Vaduz Castle in Liechtenstein has a great view along the Rhine Valley but I wouldn’t drive all the way to Vaduz just to see it, it is the least picturesque town that I have ever visited!

I don’t have many because it’s been quite a while since I’ve been there. And I wasn’t taking great photos way back then. So I don’t have very many photos. I had a problem along time ago where I lost a lot of my photos and I lost many of the ones that I did actually take. I have paper copies but I have never converted them to digital. I know you can relate…

Yes, I can… A great shame to lose pix. Now if you have pare copies and a scanner, it is… cumbersome, but worth the work to digitlaize. (and then back-up twice) 🙂
(My Mac is due back from “Intensive care to-day”. Major reformatting and all that. Let’s see how it works.
B. good.

Lovely shot. I think I must be one of the few people underwhelmed by this castle, at least the exterior. I found the interior fascinating. Maybe it was the gray, cloudy weather. 🙂

Perhaps. It was beautiful the day I was there. I think the setting up high on the mountain with the mountains in the background that did it for me. The interior was beautiful as well.

Well, I live in Germany and I certainly prefer places more unknown to masses of people. Hidden treasures not appearing in any tourist guide. One of these places in Germany is for example PENZLIN CASTLE it includes a museum featuring the persecution of witches in this part of North-Eastern Germany, well it is really a bit spooky but optionally you may also visit the nearby MARIHN PALACE & HOTEL with a famous big rose garden nearby (especially a must for fans of David Austin roses). Both are quite magic places for me!

Great recommendations! Totally agree with the less busy places. That’s is always the quandary with travel isn’t it? The busy places are busy and touristy for a reason aren’t they? But the less busy places are often some of my favorites because they are unexpected. Thanks for the comment. You are welcome here anytime.

Touristic well known and good visited places sometimes just have a better marketing, but I prefer places with not so much people normally. Now Neuschwanstein castle is of course something very special. This attraction is due also to diverse legends told about the Bavarian king and unsolved mysteries concerning his early death. A real crazy king!
