#tripaway Surrounded by Lake Schwerin and in front of Schwerin town center, Schwerin Castle enchants with its unique combination of architecture and landscape. The former residential building in Schwerin is one of the most important historic buildings in Germany. With the inclusion of Renaissance buildings from the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century with terracotta ornaments and ornamental facades, the present appearance of the palace was created between 1843 and 1857. The palace was redesigned according to the plans of builders Georg Adolph Demmler and Friedrich August Stüler in the neo-renaissance style. The castles of the French Renaissance, especially the Chambord in the Loire, exerted a strong influence on the model. It is especially worth seeing in the castle museum the magnificent ducal display rooms on the festival floor, such as the Throne Room and the ancestral gallery, as well as the living and social rooms at the bottom of the room, such as dining, tea, flower rooms and New Year gallery Precious porcelain from Meissen, Berlin and other European manufacturers, as well as courtyard and Mecklenburg paintings from the 18th and 20th centuries can be seen in the rooms of former children. The castle garden and the orange are also worth a visit. In addition to its function as a cultural meeting place, the castle is also the seat of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian state parliament. The annual SCHWERIN SCHLOSSFESTSPIELE is also very popular and well attended. You can discover Schwerin Castle on a city tour in the most important sights of Schwerin. #tripaway

#tripaway Amidst beautiful, green natural scenery, just a few minutes from Neuschwanstein and the neighbouring castle of Hohenschwangau, Bavaria’s highest town, Füssen, lies on the shores of the Alpine River Lech. It marks the convergence of popular tourism routes such as the Romantic Road, the German Alpine Road and the Trans-Alpine Via Claudia Augusta. Up above, the Hohe Schloss, or High Castle, sits in majesty with its richly coloured illusionist paintings. In the romantic streets of Füssen old town, medieval town houses sit alongside impressive Baroque churches. In summer, the many street cafés lend the old town district an almost Italian flair. Beautiful views can be enjoyed not only from the towers of the Hohe Schloss but also from boat trips on Lake Forggensee – including Neuschwanstein Castle against an Alpine backdrop. Traces of the Bavarian kings abound in Füssen. The Hohe Schloss above the old town, the former summer residence of the Bishops of Augsburg, was due to be woken from its slumber in the 19th century and turned into a residence for Crown Prince Maximilian, father of the Fairy Tale King, Ludwig II. But things took a different turn: on a journey through the Alps, Maximilian came across the ruins of Schwanstein Castle and had his castle, Hohenschwangau, built there, just a few kilometres from Füssen. A royal dream – The Allgäu on both sides of the River Lech, between wild mountains and idyllic lakes – this was the favourite retreat of the Bavarian Fairy Tale King Ludwig II, where he could escape from the everyday life of government in Munich. Here he turned his dreams into reality with Neuschwanstein Castle. The view from Neuschwanstein Castle extends far out into the countryside. Standing on the balcony of the throne room on a castle tour, you can see why Ludwig II chose this particular location for his “Holy Grail”. #tripaway
