Hohenschwangau, Germany

Neuschwanstein, one of the most famous castle in Europe was built for the famously reclusive Ludwig II as a retreat.  This castle, was where the misunderstood Swan King withdrew into a fantasy world of his own creation. The romantic architecture combined with the idyllic surroundings evokes images of fairy tales, so it’s no surprise that it was the inspiration for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle.  This picture was taken from the nearby Marienbrücke where you can get the full view of the castle set against the clear lake.
