May 17, 2023,...Neuschwanstein 🏨 ...
The last few days we had everything else like "holiday hiking weather", so that the joy about the first rain-free day was great 🙂. Tickets for Neuschwanstein were booked and the mystical object examined up close. The cool weather probably held back many tourists with 📷, which was very helpful 🤩.

Unfortunately, on the way to the castle you are mostly in the middle of the tourist crowds. The viewpoint in front of the castle with a view of the two lakes is phenomenal.
