Neuschwanstein - King Ludwig's folly

Neuschwanstein was different to any other castle we have visited. Rather than being used to defy invaders and as a position for knights to slaughter one another, it was the fantasy of a deranged Bavarian King. Furthermore, it cost him his realm and his life.

Notwithstanding this, the castle was very beautiful with views to die for (no pun intended) and a pleasant forest walk.

You can see where Walt Disney got his inspiration from.
