}} Castle Neuschwanstein<br />

Do you remember Cinderellas‘ castle?<br />

Walt Disney had been inspired by King Ludwig II marvelous Castle Neuschwanstein. Seven<br />

weeks after the death of King Ludwig II in 1886, Neuschwanstein was opened to the public. The<br />

shy king had built the castle in order to withdraw from public life – now vast numbers of people<br />

came to view his private refuge.<br />

Today Neuschwanstein is one of the most popular of all the palaces and castles in Europe.<br />

Every year 1.3 million people visit "the castle of the fairy-tale king". In the summer around<br />

6,000 visitors a day stream through rooms that were intended for a single inhabitant.<br />

}} Palace of Linderhof<br />

The setting of Neuschwanstein could not be more idyllic. However, movement in the<br />

foundation area has to be continuously monitored, and the sheer rock walls must be repeatedly<br />

secured. The harsh climate also has a detrimental effect on the limestone façades, which will<br />

have to be renovated section by section over the next few years.<br />
