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.

The story goes that Walt Disney loved it so much he used it as inspiration for the them park castles...so yeah...

There's an old German drinking song about Ludwig - I don't remember it because I last participated 20 years ago, and wasn't anything close to sober when I learned it, but it pays homage to the fact that Ludwig was a little...off...

That's because Disney modeled their castle off of Neuschwanstein. Hint if you actually go: Either wear good walking shoes or pay for a ride up. It's a long way.
