The castle at Neuschwanstein sits atop a wooded hill, and seems to be simply out of a fairytale. Well, instead of being from a fairy tale, the original design was thought up by a theatrical director who wanted the inside and the outside appearance to be magnificent and dreamlike. The Lindenhof is a very popular tourist attraction as well. It boasts a beautiful fountain geyser as well as a copy of the Blue Grotto in Capri. |
