Today our superb included excursion takes us to Bavaria and the lovely town of Fussen, situated at the southern end of the Romantic Road. You will have time at leisure to discover the medieval centre of this charming town located above the River Lech.
We then continue to the village of Hohenschwangau. Here you will have the opportunity to photograph Neuschwanstein, the fairytale castle of Mad King Ludwig, (weather permitting). This romantic castle, upon which Walt Disney based Sleeping Beauty’s Palace, is one of Germany’s most popular images.
