The reclusive King Ludwig II of Bavaria built the "New Sandstone Castle" in the 1800s. Down the hill and up the next is another castle, the residence of a princess. A few minutes drive puts you in Füssen, another incredibly picturesque town with immaceuly clean streets, orderly shops, and– of course– a castle. Mulled wine and bratwursts wait outside the tour's entrance; just about every entrance in Germany for that matter. Although the castle is built on a hill with much bigger German Alps in the background, King Ludwig II had a killer view of the town below and surrounding lake. He was a weirdo, but he had style.
