What women doesn't love a good castle? I was feeling a bit nostalgic this week and I went and found some old photos of our time living in Germany and the Castles we visited. I may have never visited Disneyland, but I can claim that I've been to the original Sleeping Beauty's Castle or correctly named Neuschwanstein Castle. We also had the opportunity to visit King Ludwig II's other famous castles; Linderhof and Hohenschwangau. It was such an amazing experience, and I long to visit again. Except hopefully next time we can go in warmer months.

It may have been the dead of winter, but the sites were still extraordinary! I was able to visit the surrounding locations of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and other nearby towns twice in the time we lived in Germany. Definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone that is able to travel abroad to Germany!
Don't forget to link up your own Wordless Wednesday post, and hop around to all the others listed. We love comments too; so feel free to leave us a note! I do read them!

Those castles are awe inspiring!!! I would love a chance to go see them.
Stunning sights! Are these castles currently occupied? Do they give tours or rent rooms, or can you only ever see them from the outside?
They do give tours. They are not currently occupied that I am aware of. Most Castles in Germany are set up mostly as tour attractions. You can go into selected areas and the tours are all guided.
That is gorgeous! I would love to go to Germany some day. I still have extended family over there somewhere.
I have been through Germany only as an airport layover stop. My husband loves German food and wants to go for that! I like your pictures and would love to go for that! LOL
My favorite castle to date is Bothwell in Scotland. It’s abandoned and falling apart, but friends of ours used it for their playground when they were little, so visiting it was a really cool experience for us.
Absolutely beautiful! The pictures are all so magical!
that’s cool, we are learning about Germany in our homeschooling! I would love to visit there someday, that’s where my ancestors are from!
They are gorgeous! I would LOVE to visit Germany and see ANY of the castles!
I have that on my bucket list to visit Germany and see all the spectacular castles. My friend says there is a Castle road you can walk and see so many of them. Beautiful!
I have to say that I am so jealous!! My Oma just got back from Frankfurt Germany 2 days ago. I have wanted so badly to see where my family is from but just too chicken to fly there!! I love Neuschwanstein Castle and have many pictures and puzzles of it. Love your pictures! I’m a new follower!
Wow, that’s amazing! I would absolutely love to visit there!
just wonderful!!
Beautiful! The “Sleeping Beauty” Castle looks unreal framed by the snow. Definitely something straight out of a fairy tale!
WOW! Gorgeous!!
I pinned that last castle to my Travel Goals board- going on my bucket list! Thanks for sharing!
I have been to Germany twice but never made it to Neuschwanstein Castle which is on my bucket list.
Those castles are gorgeous!
Stunning castles! I’ll be seeing DarKastle at Busch Gardens next weekend – but hope to visit the real Ludwig one someday.
There is a location that is definitely on my list to visit.
I went to Germany about 15 years ago, LOVED everything about it. Especially the castles and the history in general. Very beautiful country, I hope to go back one day!
