Ammergau Alps

The Ammergau Alps in Bavaria, Germany, are a stunning mountain range that offer breathtaking views and a wealth of photography opportunities. With their rugged peaks, lush forests, and crystal-clear lakes, the Ammergau Alps are a paradise for nature photographers. Some of the most popular photography locations in the area include the Ettal Abbey, the Oberammergau village, and the Zugspitze, the highest peak in Germany.

The Dream Castle
Neuschwanstein
by Walter Maurer

The dream castle of King Ludwig II, photographed a million times, nevertheless it has not lost its attraction. I had the chance to do it too on a sunny day last autumn. Fortunately I found this nice point of view.

Neuschwanstein gehört heute zu den meistbesuchten Schlössern und Burgen Europas. Rund 1,4 Millionen Menschen jährlich besichtigen "die Burg des Märchenkönigs".

Today Neuschwanstein is one of the most popular of all castles in Europe. Every year 1.4 million people visit "the castle of the fairy-tale king".

Neuschwanstein Castle is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.

The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was opened to the paying public immediately after his death in 1886. Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and later, similar structures.

It was a raining day when I was there. The rain fog cast some mysterious atmosphere to this famous castle.

Neuschwanstein Castle (English: New Swanstone Castle) is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner.

This is probably the first interior photo I have ever posted. I really love the interior and ceiling of this Baroque Bavarian Church. So many people are praying now in this strange Corona period, hoping for loved ones to get better. It is also the week leading up to Easter, so it seems fitting to me to post this. Please stay well everybody and have a Happy Easter.

The castle of "Neuschwanstein" in a very special evening light! Shot this 5 years ago and ever since I enjoy the high resolution of a Flickr Pro Membership I wanted to overwork it and post it again. Hope you like it too.
