Day two was all about visiting Schwangau, Germany. The plan was to spend some time in Fussen before our early evening tour time of Neuschwanstein Castle but once we pulled off to admire the castle nestled in the Alps we just couldn’t leave the village.
For years I have heard Rachel swoon over this castle and talk about it being the inspiration for Cinderella’s Castle. I could always seen the similarities but now that I’ve been and seen it in person it is clear as day. (Interesting note from our tour, Walt Disney never visited the castle.)
We walked the edge of Swan Lake, ate schnitzel and beer at a local restaurant and admired both Neuschwanstein Castle as well as Hohenschwangau Castle and visited the shops prior to our tour. Seeing the details within the castle was fascinating - and the throne room was gorgeous - we got to go onto the balcony overlooking the village and the view was nothing short of breathtaking.
After our tour we headed to Fussen, got settled into our hotel and found some dinner.
