Submitted by krobinson on Thu, 01/13/2011 - 05:57.I have always excited to see this castle for so many years. It was stunningly beautiful as I have expected, just like a castles in fairy tale. We didn't spent more time in the castle but I wish next time I would surely spent whole day in it. We also get amazing shots of the fantastic views of the castle. It is the only place in Germany which I always would like to see and explore. Bavaria germany
