Füssen

Today we took the train 2.5 hours out to Füssen and back for the day. What is Füssen, you might ask? Well. Ever watched a Walt Disney movie and seen this? Walt had to get it from somewhere, and that somewhere is none other than Neuschwanstein Castle just outside of Füssen in very southern Germany (Bavaria). It poured rain in the morning, but late afternoon was quite nice. We wandered around the area (walked about 13 km all told), and went through the castle. King Ludwig II who built it had a bit of an obsession with Wagner’s operas and with swans, but it was still a pretty cool castle.
