Neuschwanstein Castle

Things to do in Schwangau | Bavaria | Germany

Built between 1869 and 1886, Neuschwanstein Castle is a grand palace situated on a rugged cliff against a scenic backdrop of the German Alps. The palace was commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, popularly known as 'mad King Ludwig', as a retreat and in honour of Richard Wagner. 

Part theatre, part fairytale, Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the world's most famous castles, largely because it was the inspiration behind Walt Disney's iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland.

Traveler Notes

I have been longing to go to Neuschwanstein for years and finally I managed to get there! It was a day trip from Munich before I went to Dusseldorf (by 5.5 hours train 🤪) for my flight back to Indonesia.

It was worth the effort! Luckily it snowed for the first time on that day. The white powder snow was extremely pretty. Too bad the restaurant near the castle and the Marie Bridge was closed. Some tourists tresspassed, but unfortunately, I was not that brave.

No pictures allowed inside the castle, but honestly, the scenery outside is more impressive than the inside. It is sad to imagine that the king could not enjoyed the castle he built with his all and the city was the one that ended up receiving the money from the visitors.

Miesto, kde som povedala že môžem hneď v ten okamih zomrieť. Majestátne Alpy. Hory. Slnko. Costy vzduch. Príroda. Nedá sa to slovami opísať. Kus zo mňa ako by tam ostal. Ak ma to niekam v živote veľmi tiahne, tak práve sem/tam.

The place where I said I could die right now. Majestic Alps. Mountains. The sun. Costy air. Nature. It cannot be described in words. A piece of me seems to remain there. If somewhere in my life it really pulls me, it's right here/there
