Munich Day #2 / Bavaria
On our last day in Germany, we headed south from Munich to the Bavarian Alps very close to the Austrian border. Taking trains from Munich > Buchloe > Fussen. Fussen is part of the tourist route known as the Romantic Road. The town was settled in 1294.
While at Fussen, we explored by foot the Neuschwanstein Castle (built 1869) and Hohenschwangau Castle (built 1837). The former castle is said to be the inspiration Walt Disney used to create Cinderella’s Castle in Disney World.
Yes it was cold in the Alps. Elevation ~ 3200 feet.
In the afternoon, we returned back to Munich to explore the iconic Marienplatz (Plaza) containing some structures dating back to 1158. The most famous buildings include the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall) with its famous Glockenspiel.
Tomorrow dad and daughter head back to the States, while Jackie’s family head back to Italy.
But first….one last German meal raising our beer steins toasting travel, adventure, and family!
Next stop - Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
Thanks for following along….
