Today we explored two castles in Fuessen Munich. It was Schloss Neuschwanstein and Schloss Hohenschwangau .It was King Ludwig 2nd and his dads castle. We took a horse carriage up to the castles. It was a stunning view over the German Alps.and the alpsee then we hiked up to the Marienbruecke where we had a fantastic view on both castles.the alpsee was stunning

German Baroque architecture is amazing....the churches are spectacular.

[@rickc.4723]

Agreed :)

[@jaybae8056]

laterlr roman influence ,seen here, near unto the rococo

[@chriskabout4556]

This ain't baroque. This castle was built at the end of the 19th century. It is a mishmash of styles, mostly Neo-Gothic but also Romanesque and Byzantine.

I was stationed in Germany in the Army in 1971. My parents and brother flew over and we went to this castle. It was the best time of my life. Mad Ludwig had an indoor cave, kool

[@kevintempleton8671]

I was stationed with the 11 ACR in Fulda from 1990 to 1993. I went to the castle too and it was amazing!

They're big, strong, beautiful horses! It's a lovely area around the schloss - much nicer outside than inside

[@rickc.4723]

Walking stick with a bell 😂 that's awesome!! Ding ding, coming through!! You have a very valid point there "How fast are you going to pass someone with one of these?" Love your sense of humor lol

[@starbn007]

WE BEEN THERE TWICE ... LOVE TO SEE IT AGAIN....

[@lynetteray2146]

40 years ago, there were no real time limits. We had to walk up and stayed as long as we wanted outside of the building after the tour. Fab place to see!

[@bozersgal]

same for us in '76...log hot walk up that drive tho.walk or hay wagon...

[@SharonBook]

Ditto. It was a Long walk up that hill!! But well worth it. Absolutely stunning!!

[@HowardLuken]

I was there in the fall of 1987 and don't remember any time limitations but then again I didn't go inside the castle.

[@stuartmenziesfarrant]

I love castle visits, thanks GIV!

[@starseed8087]

40 years ago there weren't that many visitors to the castle, nowadays 1.4 million visitors / year..

[@startupadmin540]

Hello to you GIV and your Mom❤. I was there 34 years ago almost the exact same time in October 1989. I don’t remember the huge crowds but do remember the walk up the hill. It’s one of the most beautiful places on earth. King Ludwig the “Swan King” and his favorite composer and best friend, Wagner. Thanks for the memories ❤

[@zp6097]

I visited the castle when I was stationed in Germany with the Air Force. Beautiful castle!

[@breslittleyarncornor5680]

It looks like a painting. The landscapes are breath taking. So lucky you are coming from the history of the country. Un spoiled nature.

[@tazmod7272]

My dad was in the military so we moved around a lot. We would try to see interesting places around where we lived. However, there was one time when we lived in Virginia in the middle 60’s we were only a couple of hours from Washington DC and never went. I regret that. I remember you saying that your mom hadn’t been to many places. It is great that you have been able to take her places during your visit.

[@davejohnson3773]

I was there in 1999. They didn’t have the electronic systems so we had to stand in-line a long time to get into the castle. We were always told to keep up with the group. I really enjoyed the experience. As did my two children. It’s a trip we will never forget. Thanks for trip down memory lane!

[@tammymoore6009]

I’ll probably never get to go to Germany to see those castles so thank you so much for sharing these gorgeous places! And I love to see your Mom having such a wonderful time!

[@johnskelton5683]

The GiV, the 🐎 horseman! Horses are such noble creatures. I think the GiV recognizes that in his acknowledgement of these horses. 🐎🐎

[@olsurferguy1]

I walked up to the castle via the footpath 62 years ago when I was 11 years old. No hoards of people back then. The path up from the parking area was quite a hike! We stayed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It was so beautiful there in southern Germany. The views from the castle were amazing. Our guide told us stories of King Ludwig II, which stirred my imagination to no end. What a great childhood!

[@AndrewNorris-3-5-7]

I’m so jealous as an American of your tangible history going back millennia. I love history, and it is all the more interesting when you can relate to it at an almost genetic level. So fascinating 😊

[@julioalbertoherrera1339]

Actually Neu Schwanstein (The New Swan Stone) is a relatively modern castle, from the 19th century. But the creator of the castle, the Bavarian King Ludwig II, was inspired in old germany legends and fairy tales. The Ring of the Nibelungen, Siegfried the Dragon Slayer and so on...

[@ziloj-perezivat]

Thanks for sharing 👍👍@@julioalbertoherrera1339

[@driftwood5504]

@@julioalbertoherrera1339 The Bavarian King Ludwig II is said to have committed suicide, but new documents point to murder... 132 years ago today, King Ludwig II died mysteriously. Filmmaker Klaus Bichlmeier met two previously unknown descendants of witnesses - and is now certain: "Ludwig was shot!"... only GOD knows the real story ...

Thank you! This video was great! Thanks for showing us these incredible castles! Beautiful! That woman doesn’t know what she is talking about! Saying don’t go there. I think she might be young. She would prefer Venice Beach! Loved seeing the horses. Plus the dogs too. Your mom looks so happy. Because you are there!

Wunderschön. Danke, it brought back sweet memories... 🏰🇩🇪

Totally worth the trip!!! I LOVED it!!! The relationship between Ludwig and Wagner is quite interesting. The bridge is amazing. Ludwig built Linderhoff.... Herenkimsee... (my spelling is off) Ludwig drown in the end.... mysteriously. I stayed the night at Lisle's Hotel. I saw a ghost at the foot of my bed there.... and I'm an incredible skeptical athiest. Great adventure I'll remeber forever

Beautiful castles and grounds. I hope the walking and stairs weren't too taxing on Mama GIV, but it's good that you're taking her places while she can still get around. You're making memories that will last a lifetime. ETA: What you call hortensia (the flowering shrub) we call hydrangea.

Mike you should go to the Wieskirche 20 minutes from Fussen. It's incredible. Located in the village of Wies, just off the B17 between Füssen and Schongau. You can film etc. inside.

[@douglasstone3813]

I visited Castle Neuschwanstein in the Winter of 86 we rode a horse drawn covered carriage up the hill while drinking hot spiced wine. I do not recall it being that busy or any long lines. The castle is a marvel of it's time and today a must see.

[@5thdimension954]

We went to the castle on our honeymoon. My new hubby kept waiting for “the next town for cheaper accommodations”. Well, around midnight we stopped at a bar/restaurant and he went in and asked about a room while I stayed in the car. He returned with “I have good news and bad news”. The good news is we have a room but the bad news is it’s in a barn. We stayed in the converted barn. It was actually quite nice. We laugh about that memory every anniversary.
