5ULM: EXCURSION TO NEUSCHWANSTEIN, FÜSSEN, & LINDAU
Fairytale Bavaria Travel through Bavaria's picturesque winter landscapes to the fairytale splendor of Neuschwanstein. Enjoy a guided visit of King Ludwig’s castle, probably one of the most recognizable in the world as it provided inspiration for Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. Later, head to Füssen at the southern point of the Romantic Road, enjoy some free time to explore before driving to Lake Constance to spend time discovering the charming island of Lindau and browsing the Christmas Markets on the lakeside promenade. Return to Ulm for an evening at leisure. TOUR HIGHLIGHT King Ludwig II of Bavaria, the “Fairy-tale King,” built a fantastical 1800s castle with all the modern conveniences (aka plumbing), while emphasizing the romantic vision of a storybook castle. His love for Wagnerian opera is literally plastered on the walls inside, with panoramas and frescoes of scenes from the composer’s great works. So romantic and fanciful of design, Neuschwanstein Castle inspired Walt Disney’s blueprint of a castle fit for Sleeping Beauty herself.
