A little something for German history buffs and Wagnerians. Fabulous photos.

Spectacular.
God help us if the Muslims get control of Europe’s magnificent Catholic cathedrals, museums and castles.
I’m very weak on German history, any recommended tomes?

I drove by Neuschwanstein several times while stationed in Europe. It looks like something out of a Disney fairy tale. I’ve got a really great picture of it.

We were there a few years back. The English tour was not until afternoon, so we opted for the German one. They spoke really fast with lots of adjectives I had not yet learned in German III.

You wonder if it wasn't this kind of stuff that inspired Tolkein. Neuschwanstein Castle practically screams Arnor or Gondor.

I was there in October 2007.
I just took out my photo album to refresh my memory on the smaller home of Ludwig, called Schloss Linderhoff.
There is a wonderful fountain on the grounds,of King Neptune with 3 horses rearing up he he drives the chariot through the waters. Even the rainy day I was there couldn’t ruin the beauty of that sight.

I visited Neuschwanstein several times, with family and friends. It is one of my favorite spots in all the world.
I always had to wonder how someone who grew up in all that natural beauty that is the Alps could grow up to become a Hitler...

I bicycled through Europe many years ago, the summer after I graduated from prep school, and Neuschwanstein Castle was one of the places I visited. I loved it, and I loved the Tyrolean Alps.
If you ever want to go hiking, I can’t think of a better place to do it. You can stop in a hostel or a bed and breakfast every evening and put down the local beer. Or you can do as I did, and strap a sleeping bag and poncho on the back of your bike.
I even bought a pair of lederhosen and a green felt hat with a feather in its band, when I went through there. Keep in mind, I was only 18.

There was a full-motion-video game done in 1995 by Sierra,
The beast within, that featured a lot of elements pertaining to Ludwig and his castles.
