Germany -Fussen






From Austria, we easily cross over to Germany with just a 2 hour train trip to Munich. We were suppose to stay in Munich but an impromp tudecision to take another 2 hour trip to Fussen was made. It was a decision that brought no regrets. The scenery on the train there was filled with green meadows, mountains and lakes.


As no accommodations were pre-booked, we head to the TI straight away, as they provide this service for free here.


We spent our time picnicking by the lake and visiting the famous Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castle.


Neuschwanstein Castle belongs to the Mad King Ludwig and the latter belongs to his father. His castle was known as the fairytale castle as it was built by a painter not by a architect. And you might find that it resemble the Disney Castle. The castle was never completed hence only 14 rooms were done. When you are there take time to check out the views from the castle and his room as it took 4 1/2yr to complete.
