The end of the Romantic road

After leaving Munich we drove to Schongau, another walled town back on the romantic road. We didn’t explore this town but while William was running he found an ice-hockey stadium and so dad and him enjoyed watching a awesome game. This made everyone else jealous especially because they thought it was an ordinary hockey game.




The next morning we drove through different scenery, with large rocky mountains, pine covered slopes, green grassy meadows and turquoise blue lakes. We had breakfast at a picnic area next to a beautiful Italian style church with a beautiful painted ceiling, golden detailing and colourful marble pillars. It looked like it was built by royals and hidden in an simple white church.



Then we moved on heading to Fussen. On the way we stopped at a German A&P show. There were lots of stalls and a cattle show competition. But the biggest tent and the centre of the show was the Beer tent which was jammed with people with having very large lunches and listening to a Pipeband. We wandered around and were very interested in the stall advertising solar roofs (we could use it for our goat shed). We also brought a bell for our head goat. We saw lots of bells of all different sizes and styles, all the cows had them.



At Fussen we found a campground and the next day we went for a long hike to one of Germany’s famous castles, Neuschwanstein . First we went to the supermarket and got our lunch then we went to the tourist information and got maps. The walk was really nice we went about 5km through forest and meadows to the Castle. It was built up on the mountain slope and looked like a Disney Fairytale castle. We walked up to a bridge over a gorge with a great view of the castle and the lakes in the valley below. We had lunch on the trail by the bridge. Then walked back and had a swim in Schwansee lake in the forest.
