Hohenschwangau

---

Woke to very heavy fog,which blanketed our view of Neuschwantein. Visited Hohenschwangau Castle in the morning, built as the summer palace of the kings of Bavaria. Decorated in medieval style, of knights and legends. Here the young Ludwig grew up and was influenced in his design of Neuschwanstein. The eccentric king lavishly decorated the rooms of the castle, all themed to operas of Wagner, who visited the castle often. One room was even built as a cave. By the time we finished the tour of this castle and descended the mountain at 5pm, the sun and blue sky was back again.
Dinner again in the hotel restaurant, and an excellent stay here at the Hotel Alpenstuben
