Neuschwanstein-Castle-Germany.jpeg

"The ultimate fairytale castle, Neuschwanstein is situated on a rugged hill near Füssen in southwest Bavaria. It was the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty castles in the Disneyland parks. The castle was commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria who was declared insane when the castle was almost completed in 1886 and found dead a few days later."

"Spectacular Sanssouci Park, laid out between 1744 and 1756, is considered the most celebrated example of Potsdam Rococo. Reflecting the personal influence of Frederick the Great, the park includes a lovely Baroque flower garden, more than 3,000 fruit trees, and numerous greenhouses."
 
I thought I saw the Disneyland castle in the preview and then read your post. Stunning setting. Sanssouci Park looks like a fabulous visit would be instore. Thanks for posting these.

"To understand Neuschwanstein you need a glimpse into the castle’s creator, the eccentric, often-called "crazy" King Ludwig II (1845 – 1886).
Ludwig was a reclusive dreamer who escaped into a fantasy world of romantic German mythology and the works of composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883), whose works he sponsored and basically worshipped."
