Today for Around the World with Gummibär, I visited Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany, the castle that the famous Disney Cinderella Castle is modeled after!
The Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most visited castles in Germany and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe! It is located in Bavaria, Germany. Neuschwanstein Castle was built by King Ludwig II, also known as the “Fairytale King”. The word Neuschwanstein literally means “New Swan Castle” referencing of “the Swan Knight” one of composer Richard Wagner’s opera characters. This fairytale look of the Neuschwanstein castle inspired Walt Disney to create the Magic Kingdom. Today, Neuschwanstein is the most visited castle in Germany, and one of the most popular tourist destination in the world. Every year over 1.300.000 people cross its gate.
