Day 9: Next City Salzburg
But first, a fairy tale story ...... in a distant land near the castle of young King Ludwig II called Neuschwanstein our fairytale begins. We journeyed through an enchanted forest with a stop at Queen Mary's Bridge (Marienbrucke) and then to the castle we fled (really we walked)
Views from the terrace of King Ludwig II fairy tale Neuschwanstein Castle.

Climb Every Mountain or Hohensalzburg Fortress
It was a fun climb to the Hohensalzburg fortress gate. There was a funicular option; however we chose to climb on foot. The view over the city and the mountainous backdrop were spectacular and unforgettable.
