Winter Wonderland: Neuschwanstein!

Do you wanna see the Disney Castle? I mean, not the fake one you can find at Disneyland… Yes, that’s real and you can visit it.

King Ludwig II almost sent his kingdom to bankruptcy, by perseverating in a colossal project for a dream romantic castle. Ironically, the same castle that at the time of his construction almost drained the pockets of the Bavarians, today is by far the largest moneymaker in Germany and one of the most visited place in Europe (1.5 million people yearly). In summer the castle receives up to 6000 visitors per day!

So if you want to see something astonishing, in a winter wonderland setup with less tourists around, definitely go to Neuschwanstein in winter! Only precaution: cover yourself heavily. Today it was a sunny day with -22 °C !!!
