Munich - Day 4

Thursday, August 4

Today we traveled 2 hours by coach bus to the Bavarian Alps. While there we got to tour the Neuchweinstein Castle. This Castle was built by Ludwig II but never completed due to his untimely death at the age of 40. This Castle is also the inspiration for the Walt Disney Castle. I found this Castle to be quite interesting even though the tour was short. In this tour, we got to see several of the rooms including the Kings Chamber, and the Throne Room. The Kings Chamber was really amazing, the woodwork on the top of the bed was astonishing. It's amazing to think about how they were able to produce something like that during the 19th century. The Throne Room was cool also. due to the million piece tile floor. The design was so intricate and advanced it was really amazing. After the Castle, we drove about an hour to one of the Oldest Monastery Breweries in the world. It started brewing in 1455 and is still going strong today.
