Neuschwanstein Castle

After missing the train yesterday, today I decided to do a tour of Neuschwanstein Castle. The castle is 2 hours away from Munich and is only 5km from Austria (as the crow flies). It is at the beginning of the German side of the Bavarian Alps. It is absolutely beautiful – inside and out! The inside tour was a little disappointing – the inside is spectacular, but the tour only takes you through about 10 rooms. Plus you are not allowed to take photos inside – which, of course, meant that I only took about 20 :) We also did some hiking around the castle through some river rapids and forests. To summarise, if you are in Munich and can afford the time, absolutely go to the castle – but I wouldn't make a special trip to Munich for it!
