Neuschwanstein Castle
Germany
The unassuming village of Hohenschwangau sits below
the sheer rock walls, soaring turrets, and elegant spires
of this 19th-century castle, dreamed up by Ludwig II as an homage to the operas of Richard Wagner, themselves based
on medieval legends. With a backdrop of Bavarian forest, lakes, and the Alpsee Valley, the castle is right out of a fairy tale. Hohenschwangau,
