Fussen, Germany
Fussen is one of those unbelievable places you see photos of in magazines and wonder if such a place really exist. We started this segment of our trip roughing it in first class accommodations on the train as Sue illustrates. The highlight was seeing the majestic mountains and of course the two castles of King Ludwig II. The first was referred to as his “cabin” while the second, larger one, our tour guide called his “apartment” as she led us through the part of the castle he actually lived in. Ludwig unfortunately only lived in the castle for approximately 4 months prior to his death. A large part of the castle was never finished but the interior work of what was completed is breath-taking. The wood work alone in one section of this living quarters took 4 years to complete.
Instead of taking the bus back into town, Sue and I decided to take the 3 mile hike through the woods - or over the mountain, I should say. A couple of the photos above of the castle was taken on that hike, as well as, the swan that was in the lake we passed. Needless to say, a good dinner, followed by dessert, was well earned before we collapsed in our 4 star hotel! (Just a side note - the 4 star hotel in Fussen was less expensive than our 2 star hotel in Paris!) There’s no doubt about it, however, we are not roughing it on this trip!
