Perched 200 meters high on a rocky outcrop, the castle built in the 19th century under the order of Louis II, then King of Bavaria, is a true jewel. For the anecdote, this castle inspired Disneyland for their famous Sleeping Beauty film. Not surprising given the splendor of this building! On your return to Munich, you will make a small stop to visit the Wieskirch church, a monument classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
