I’ve been there more than 10 years ago, though I only remembered it when I was last there in February this year! I saw the horses and images of them shitting all the way up to the castle jogged the memory…

A really lovely castle, very well maintained, a true beauty. I liked the way the few fully-completed rooms were decorated, the mix of Gothic and Medieval in the architecture. Everything was also very well-organised, we had a number for our tour and a time slot to go on it and everything ran like clockwork!

And for a few days after, I was intrigued as to how and why Mad King Ludwig II died the way he did – drowned in the lake near the castle and with a doctor too. Anybody knew the answer?

PS : The reason why we couldn’t take pictures inside the castle was, according to our official guide, because the German Government has copyright to them! So when you’re inside, you can take pictures of the outside (thru the windows) but nada of the inside.
