Between 1869 and 1886, he had Castle Neuschwanstein built. This
has become one of the most important sights in germany. About
5 minutes away on foot from the Castle is the Maria Bridge, 90
m above the Pollat Falls, from which one has wonderful views of
the Castle, and the 45 m high waterfall. The parking places for
the Royal Castles are about 5 minutes by car from our hotel.
