I took a walk around town today. Füssen has a truly beautiful old town with many sights. I then walked out to the castles of Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein. I only looked at them from the outside. I'd been inside many years ago. The weather was moderate. Some of it was quite good.

🤣... Happy Easter everyone

Today there was a "sightseeing tour". We looked at the beautiful old town in Füssen and went past the Schwanensee to Hohenschwangau. Before that we were at Calvary, which is beautifully designed and also offers a great view.
In the afternoon we had a ticket for Hohenschwangau Castle, there was still enough time beforehand and we accidentally discovered that the …
