Fall brings out mega chrome colours
We love this fall picture of Neuschwanstein Castle. As the days get shorter and the wafts of mist hover around the caste, it can often be seen in its typical mystical look.
But when the sun is out, especially during our famous “golden October”, the sight of the castle surrounded by its forest is just outright gorgeous, with when autumn having painted the leaves with its polychrome hues.
Surely this is also a reason, why visitors from around the globe continue to travel to Schwangau to see the castle. One of the internationally most popular travel guides has now confirmed: Bavaria is one of the world’s top 10 regions in their book “Best in Travel 2016”. The winner is Transylvania in Rumania. In the city ranking, Kotor (Montenegro) won the top spot, following 2015 winner Washington DC. The winning country is Botswana, 2015 it was Singapore.
The Bavaria chapter from Lonely Planet’s Germany guidebook reads as follows: “From the cloud-shredding Alps to the fertile Danube plain, Bavaria is a place that keeps its clichéd promises, yet offers much more than the chocolate-box idyll. There’s an untranslatable feel-good air that makes exploring the region an easy-going experience.” The guide book lists the following “must-go’s”:
- indulge your romantic fantasies at fairy-tale Schloss Neuschwanstein
- rack-and-pinion your way to the top of the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak
- perch at the Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden to enjoy show-stopping Alpine vistas
