20090505 - Tuesday - Fussen

A bit of orientation and sightseeing in Fussen in the morning, a quick lunch and then to see the castles of Hohenschwangau and Schloss Newschwanstein which was the inspiration for the Disney Wonderland Castle. Before I start griping, I would like to say that seeing the castles and the views was definitely worth the effort. They are breath taking! First you take the city bus to the site - well, almost. The ticket office, even though we had prepaid vouchers was another 500 metres. After that, Hohenschwangau was a further 750 metres up hill. After the tour of the castle, it was down hill to the bus to go to Newschwanstein. Three kilometres on the bus and then another 3 kilometres on foot as the crow flies. Unfortunately, the road went up and down and it seemed like 8 kilometres as the worm crawled!
