Neuschwanstein The castle in the Alps
Our first sight of the castle!!!

ON OUR WAY!! We took the autobahn down towards Austria and Munich and the following pictures were taken on the road the first few are of the Austrian Alps then we turned and followed the Barvarian Alps to our destination. Our first trip in Germany was to Neuschwanstein. A famous castle in the Alps of King Ludwig the second. He taxed the kingdom outrageously to build this and other castles, which some say lead to his and his wifes mysterious deaths.
