Schloss Neuschwanstein

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.
