Neuschwantstein Castle

The Neuschwantstein Castle is the castle which Walt Disney used to design Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland. It looks amazingly similar. We also had to walk a mile and a half up to the entrance of this castle. Yes, it was still raining. We walked as fast as we could. We found a covered place to store the stroller and went inside. This castle was even more amazing than the last one. The wood work in here was amazing. It was all hand carved. Above the King's bed was a wooden canopy which was incredible. I think this is where Zack was amazed at the King's bed. It was also interesting to see that all the castles had a prayer room in the King's room. This castle was not finished before King Ludwig died and never go finished. We could only see the few levels he finished and they were breath taking. But again no pictures were allowed. Sorry.



After the tour of the inside, we walked around a little outside. It had stopped raining. But we were all wet, so we didn't stay long. It was a very pretty castle and the view was amazing. After running down the hill (it is easier to run with the stroller than try to walk with it, but you should have seen some of the looks), we made it to our car and headed over to the Linderhof Palace.
