Schloss Neuschwanstein [View all]

We got the earlier time frame for the castle tour. I skipped it and walked around instead.

This is the first good view on the path to the castle from the shuttle bus stop.

This view is from the foot bridge over the creek.

The waterfall under the bridge

The trail away from the bridge

The bridge. Quiet now. Gets packed later in the day and year.

From the higher lookout. About a 75 mm equivalent focal length

Two closer looks.
