Europe > Germany > Füssen(travel diary) Fussen and the castles
Category: Bavaria, 2006
At 04:57 we took the train down south from Munich to the village Füssen (about 
23 Euro). The trip took about 2 1/2 hours. We found our way to the DJH-hostel which we had read should be a pretty good one. We got a 6-bed room with good beds. Three guys from japan shared the room wth us. They didn't snore! ;)
The reason why we took the early train was that we wanted to have time to see the world famous castles Schloss Neuschwanstein and Schloss Hohenschwangau.
We walked to the castles by foot (about 5km).
17 Euro was the price for a combination ticket for both the castles. You're not allowed to walk around in the castles by yourself, you have to follow a guide for about 40 minutes.
Both the castles were very impressing! They contained incredible tree carvings which had taken several years for lots of full-time workers (and that was one room only). One thing that is interesting about Schloss Neuschwanstein is that the toilets are flushable and there's running water in the hand-basins. All this thanks to a sea situated on a level above the castle.

The yellow in the middle of the picture is Max II castle, Schloss Hohenschwangau. Ludvig II spent his childhood here. It was also here Ludvig II met Richard Wagner who gave him the inspiration to Schloss Neuschwanstein.
Castle Hohenschwangau was built in the 12th century but was renovated by Max II in the 1830's.
