The castles of Potsdam set in the placid Park Sancoucci set the historic tone of my trip, taking me from the middle ages to the modern era
The beautiful 14th century Church of the Holy Spirit standing in the heart of the marketplace of beautiful town of Heidelberg formed a beautiful foreground for the even older Heidelberg castle, one of the most important Renaissance structure north of the Alps
The medieval fortifications of Burg Etlz stands out in the forested green hills near the Rhine river, and is still lived in by 33 generations of same family since construction
The modern opulence of 19th century Schloss Hohenschwangau stands in stark contrast to the verdant surroundings of southwestern Bavaria, very close to the even more famous Neuschwanstein
Probably one of the most famous castles of Germany, Neuschwanstein stands out not just for its location atop a rocky outcrop and its colorful and stylistic architecture, but also for the eccentricities of it's creator, King Ludwig II of Bavaria
Historic town centers, spellbinding castles, placid countryside and a rich cultural heritage were the upsides of visiting a country not particularly known as a tourist destination or as a foodie haven. One of the most underrated tourist destinations proved to be one of my most memorable trips.
