Continue your journey by traveling to Germany. The Bavarian Alps are home to a very famous castle; “Mad” King Ludwig’s fairy-tale castle of Neuschwanstein, the real-life model for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. Learn about the life and mysterious death of the young king, one of Europe’s most eccentric rulers. King Ludwig so preferred dreams over reality that his servants could address him only from behind a screen. In fact, the original plans for the castle were drawn up by a theater set designer, not an architect.
