 The construction of the castle started in 1869. The realization of a romantic dream of Ludwig II became the most famous castle within Germany. “Neuschwanstein” was the inspiration for Walt Disney’s Cinderalla castle and attracts every year about 1, 3 million visitors from all around the world. www.neuschwanstein.de |
Castle “Hohenschwangau” |
 Out of a ruin close to the Alpsee this castle was built from 1833 on to serve as a summer residency for crowne prince Maximilian, who became later King of Bavaria. |

Sights & Culture |
Roman treasures at the “Tegelberg” |
 Already in 1934 traces of roman constructions (villa rustica) were found at the foot of the Tegelberg. Further archaeological excavations in 1966 and 1996 during the construction of the cable car station discovered the relics of a roman bathhouse. The good condition made it possible to restore the ruins and offer the chance to get an insight in ancient roman life.www.tegelbergbahn.de |
