The End

Germany Day Six: Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria

We drove to Garmisch from Neuschwanstein and stayed the night in a cute Bavarian hotel. Our room suspiciously looked like a janitors closet, but appeared to be a normal room when we went inside. Bavaria had the best spatzle and cream puffs! Yum!


This is the view from the top... this one is looking out over the glacier. From the top you can see 4 countries.

Neuschwanstein

Germany Day Five: Neuschwanstein

So king Ludwig II lived in the not yet completed castle for 164 days before he was declared mentally incompetent to serve. He and his psychiatrist mysteriously drowned the next day. The castle is incredibly luxurious! It had running water because of the river that flowed near it. The rooms inside are filled with huge wall murals and hand carved bed frames. He had a room made into a cave, complete with stalagtites! Unfortunately, we (unlike the Taiwanese princess who was also touring the castle) were not allowed to take pictures inside the castle. This castle was the one that Walt Disney based his castle on.












This is the view of the area from the castle.

Germany Day Five: Castle Neuschwanstein

This portion of the trip is brought to you by McDonalds. So on day five, we went to Neuschwanstein castle which is in Bavaria. It is the castle of Ludwig II. He built the castle after he lost a war which effectively removed all of his power as king of Bavaria. The castle is on the top of a huge hill so we took a horse and carriage to the top. The whole area was mountainous and quite pretty.




This is us at the castle gate.

Germany Day Four: The Black Forest

Mike and I traveled to Bad Herrenalb to hike through some of the Black Forest. The trees were think and there was a pretty river running through it. We bird watched a little and walked around. They have hikes of all different lengths ranging from hours to weeks. We chose a 2 hour walk, but we would like to go back some day and do a couple of days.
