Explore The Legendary Castle Neuschwanstein

#germany #munich #neuschwanstein
This is the tour INSIDE Castle Neuschwanstein. We'd spent a few hours on the bus and climbed a mountain to get there, but it was worth it. Built by Ludwig II, the castle opened to the public in 1886. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day during the Summer months.

I wasn't allowed to bring in a camera. Thank you for breaking the law for us.

[@kathrynpacis7298]

I was stunned by this place 3 years ago when I visited. The surrounds are completely spectacular and actually awe-inspiring! For a place with such a dark history, it is truly magical!

Thank you! There's a pretty tough climb up the mountain to get to it but it's an amazing place.

[@dianawilson1970]

It is not allowed to take photos or videos inside Neuschwanstein castle, but thank you for doing so because it is a wonderful castle and we only have the images recorded in our memory, which unfortunately are fading. I think you brought the camera in a suitcase and I thought that it didn't occur to me to do so and the journey lasts so little time inside the castle, that you can turn on the video on your cell phone and put it in your shirt pocket. Future travelers, keep in mind because these are places we probably won't return to and I feel it's worth breaking the "no photos" rules. Thank you for sharing and making me remember one of the happiest days of my life! Best regards from Mexico! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@fieldsofgold775]

It must’ve been horrible for poor King Ludwig when he was forced to leave his castle when he was practically kidnapped by his detractors and a psychiatrist. Absolutely he must’ve been distraught on some level. Poor King Ludwig. What a legacy of architecture he left.

[@politecat4236]

It's so tragic what happened to him. The poor man just wanted to be left alone, he never wanted to rule. I hope in the afterlife he has a perfectly finished castle to roam around in wonderful solitude with all his musical dreams

Ahhh this takes me back! I took my son to this castle 2x, in a decade, while we lived in SW Germany. Watching this video brought a rush of emotions, for so many reasons. We went in the early 2000’s and around 2006 or 2007. The tour was longer, and we had an actual tour guide. Nothing was behind plexiglas, but they wouldn’t allow pictures. Oh how I wish I had a smartphone in those days! ❤️ Thank you for sharing this! 💕💕

[@OaklandTravel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lastminuteplans]

I'm so jealous you got footage inside, when I went, they caught me and forced me to put my camera away and even followed me lol

[@OaklandTravel]

We're in London right now and I had someone try that with me at the Shakespeare's house in Stratford. I just took the camera off it's mount and held it in my hands concealing it and recorded anyway. I can't stand that being told not to film when there's no obvious reason for it. 🙃

[@tessaleroux7725]

Thanks for sharing. Intend going this August. Pretty impressive from a distance. Hope it’s worth going inside with all the crowds

[@OaklandTravel]

Thanks for the comment. It's definitely worth visiting. Two words of caution. :) 1) The tours go by way to quickly. You're inside the castle for maybe 15-20 minutes..and you can't really just wander around; you have to stay with your tour and they move you along. 2) Walking up the mountain to get to the castle is tough so be prepared. There is an option for a horse drawn carriage I think but the majority of people walk and it's a steep, continuous climb. Have fun!

I would love to spend an entire day, wandering around in Neuschwanstein! Guess that isn't allowed, though. But what a treat that would be!@@OaklandTravel

[@robertferguson7404]

Visited in 1956 while in the US Army - Fulda Gap - Cold War Duty. Germany still had a lot of ruins, but most of the war spared Neuschwanstein's exterior, though interior- furniture, drapes, rugs, wall coverings, were sparse, nothing like that shown in the video. I have a wonderful photo taken at the castle entrance of two very young boys in winter dress with rosy cheeks. Would love to post, but do not know how.

[@OaklandTravel]

You could use a service like legacybox.com to have the photos turned into a movie and then you could post that movie on KZbin. That's one idea. Thanks for watching.

This was an excursion out of Munich, this castle and Linderhof. Despite the policy on filming, you should still go see them; they're amazing in person. One word of caution on Neuschwanstein, it does require climbing or riding up a mountain to get to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6KUdH5ogb2pp6M Regarding the camera, it was a tiny Sony 4k Handycam that's no longer available.

[@johnparker1166]

“Underground Neuschwanstein castle, built into the rock, is a fighting arena where witches’ battles occur. Light comes in from the cliff face that looks out towards Mary’s Bridge over the canyon between the southwest side of the castle and the mountains. As you enter the very thick, ornate wooden doors to the fighting arena, on the right is a slit in the cliff face where light can enter. Straight ahead across the arena are 11 gold thrones where Satan, the Mothers of Darkness and the successors to the Mothers would sit. On the left there were stairs up to a balcony where sometimes other high-level Illuminati would sit to watch. There was no light that came from that side, so sometimes it would be lit with candles brought by the onlookers, frequently a group called the Sisters of Light, the Illuminati’s spiritual elite task force.”

[@sarty23]

In Ww2 Germans used the castle for storing fine art stolen from Europe.

[@OaklandTravel]

The castle has a very interesting history. Thanks for the comment. 👍

[@sarty23]

@@OaklandTravel If I remember correctly the Germans were to demolish the castle just as the allies were approaching it. The soldiers equipped with the task luckily didnt do what they were told, so the castle was saved. Inside, the allies found 21000 pieces of art from all over Europe that is worth at least hundreds of millions today.
