The third and final stop of the day was at King Ludwig II's Neuschwanstein castle. This picturesque castle rests on a mountain set among a beautiful forest. It isn't hard to believe that this was the inspiration for Walt Disney's castle (fun fact!) After a pleasant lunch, we climbed, and I do mean climbed, a steep hill up to the castle. Ludwig did not see the completion of the castle, which he had decorated in homage to Richard Wagner, as he was deemed "mad" and later found dead in a lake.
