암메르가우어 알프스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

The interior design of Neuschwanstein Castle features the recurring element of the soaring swan. This symbolizes purity and is the heraldic animal of the Counts of Schwangau, to which Ludwig II belonged. This bird can be seen everywhere, on the faucets, stained-glass windows, and even on the roof of the royal carriage.

Because of the tourist stronghold of Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau sometimes gets neglected.

Although it is in the "shadow" of Neuschwanstein, for me it is another beautiful example of German history.

Definitely watch with a guide, very nice 😍

The Alpsee (approx. 62m deep) near Hohenschwangau impresses with its blue, clear water. In addition to an outdoor swimming pool and the local boat rental, the lake offers an easy alpine circular hiking trail with a length of approx. 6km! The hiking trail is “not suitable for wheelchair users, strollers or bicycles”! Listen again and again over coarse stones, large roots and small bridges with a grid floor, up and down the mountain! The view is breathtaking and you can catch a glimpse of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwanstein here and there!

Beautiful view of the Alpine landscape and the Alpsee! There is a view of the magnificent mountain panorama around Schwangau. Impressive and recommended!

Crowds of tourists, just a short photo stop here. Better park at Schwansee and walk over.

A predecessor building, "Schwanstein", was first mentioned in documents in 1397. Over the centuries, the castle was badly damaged. In 1832, Crown Prince Maximilian acquired the castle and had it converted into the palace we see today. After his death, his son, King Ludwig II, took over the property and had it decorated according to his preferences.
