Description Neuschwanstein - THE most visited castle and so the most photographed one I guess.

Living near that place forced me to go there at least once.
Pic was made standing on the "Marienbrücke" which was closed actually that time because of dangerous conditions.
What the heck...
Shot during a lucky 2-hour-frame of sunlight. Otherwise it was a full misty day. You may recognize that in the background.

Location:
Hohenschwangau, near town Füssen,
southern Bavaria, Germany
[link]

Historical:
Built 1869 - 1886 by King Ludwig II.
wasn´t ever finished, second floor is still a shell construction
[link]

If you´ve ever a chance to visit, take the tour. It´s impressive overall

I think it's the castle used in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Also I think it's the one Disney use at the beginning of their films. It looks beautiful.

MK-NI In reply to lizzyr [2011-05-16 11:38:24 +0000 UTC]

I didn´t remember about CCBB, decades passed since the last time seen
Disney used it as a template, though they added way more towers, oriels and stuff. The American way...

I wish I lived near a castle. I feel like it'd make every day more mysterious and special, yanno?
Probably because I've never lived near a castle xD
Beautiful shot, really. Great job. (:

Thanks for liking of course

I really do want to go to one. If I ever do visit one, which do you recommend?

MK-NI In reply to xmusic-is-my-escapex [2011-04-23 18:39:31 +0000 UTC]

Well, I´m not the castle-expert really
But of course I recommend this one. You´ll get two at one place.
Down the hill, where all tour starts, there´s [link]
It has been King Ludwigs II. "nursery" and the summer residence of his family.
It´s good to be King, I guess
Further I can only show the castles in my region, all other Germany isn´t explored yet

Nice to see a winter picture of this castle as opposed to all the cranked up saturation sunny summer day shots
Also, with the fog in the background this picture could just as well have been taken 100 years ago since no modern structures are visible.

Thanks for your opinion Winter is my fav season.
It´s more quiet, less crowd and scenery around is perfect.
Fog is blessing or curse there. I was blessed with enough
time to take a clear shot
