About Neuschwanstein Castle

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged hill of the foothills of the Alps in the very south of Germany, near the border with Austria. It is located in the Swabia region of Bavaria, in the municipality of Schwangau, above the incorporated village of Hohenschwangau, which is also the location of Hohenschwangau Castle. The closest larger town is Füssen. The castle stands above the narrow gorge of the Pöllat stream, east of the Alpsee and Schwansee lakes, close to the mouth of the Lech into Lake Forggensee. Since 2025, the castle has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "The Palaces of King Ludwig II of Bavaria: Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, Schachen and Herrenchiemsee". According to Guinness World Records, at 65 metres, it is the tallest castle in the world.

There's a lot of claims, but I'm not sure you could surf them. I think you made a good bodyboard as a small toddler on his ripples. if you really tried. He was into lots of stuff, if not surfing, wasn't he? Actually, I think, speaking of rides, the castle at Disneyland is based on Noiswainstein Castle, which is one of his, I think. Yeah, you're right. It's amazingly similar to Disney.
