built by the great King Ludwig II. Awesome it was and a bit overwhelming. He died at age forty and never really occupied the castle. Now a serious tourist attraction. No pictures allowed inside. This is the same city in which the famous 'Passion Play" has been put on every 10 years since 1634. A very,very religious city, as was King Ludwig.

It took the horse drawn carriage ride, a train, a bus, and finally a cable car to reach the top. Magnificent! They do ski in the summer also, water sprayed on a plastic type surface, but today down for maintenance.
