We lived in Bavaria for three years, between 2001-2004, and traveled as much as possible during that time. (That’s why I blog about “Bringing Europe Home.” 😉 ) Yes, we went inside Neuschwanstein. I think it’s most spectacular seen from outside, though–especially that one photo you have looking down on it through the forested hills above. I’ve never seen a view quite like that one!
Ah fantastic! I’d love to live somewhere else for a while, if not just to see what it’s like. My wife’s uncle lives in Atlanta actually. Yeah – it’s a fair view from the Marienbrücke. We loved Munich, can’t recall ever being colder though!
Well, I can’t recall ever being hotter than during my summers here, in Atlanta!
It was an adventure and a delight living in another country and culture. It has changed us all.
I just spent six weeks in Cologne, and though it was wonderful it was a bit “flat” for me considering I grew up on an island surrounded by mountains and sea. I had no idea Munich looked like this – so gorgeous!
Beautiful pictures!

Enchanting. These photos bring back fond memories.

When were you there? We didn’t go into the castle (for some reason) did you go inside?

Munich is very beautiful – this area is probably an hour to the south by train. Where did you grow up?

Beautiful. Would love to visit there one day.

wow, the castle looks even more magical during winter!

It sure did, even despite the reconstruction/restorative work they were doing.
