Schwangau, Germany

Next up from the Europe trip is Schwangau, Germany.  It was in the plan to spend a day here.  After being in Balzers a few days, I decided it would to see something else.  Balzers was pretty, but there really wasn’t much to do and it was EXPENSIVE!  Schwangau is the location of 2 very popular German castles; Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein.

Cows 

This is a picture from the hotel room in the small town of Schwangau, notices the cows crossing the road in the background.

Town

The photo on the right is of a small town next to Schwangau.  We walked around and had a nice lunch here.

Hohenschwangau

This is Hohenschwangau castle.  It’s really pretty place and is as it was when it was removed from use in the 1800’s.

Neuschwanstein1

This is Neuschwanstein castle, it’s really beautiful in and around the castle.  There’s a waterfall that leads into a stream and a bridge over the stream.  This photo was taken from the bridge.
