Neuschwanstein
About Neuschwanstein
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 is 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.

Just on the waves that Ludwig made, I did read that they were mostly ripples, so there's a lot of claims, but I'm not sure you could surf them. I think you've 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 the Speaking of Rides, the castle at Disneyland, is based on Neuschwanstein Castle, which is one of his, isn't it? Yes. I think.
