Two true highlights in Bavaria have now received what they have long deserved: Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Castle are officially UNESCO World Heritage Sites! 🎉 This puts King Ludwig II's fairytale castles among the great cultural icons.
And the best part: You can easily combine culture and adventure. For example, take a hike in the Ammergau Alps, enjoy nature – and include Linderhof Castle as a bonus stop. Or combine a tour around Hohenschwangau with a detour to Neuschwanstein Castle. This way, you get mountain feeling and fairytale flair all in one.
The architectural style? Unique! With its turrets, battlements, and almost cinematic look, Neuschwanstein is considered the epitome of the fairytale castle. Linderhof, on the other hand, is smaller but ultra-opulent, almost like a miniature French pleasure palace. Both together are real eye-catchers – and are now officially a World Heritage Site.
So: lace up your hiking boots, grab your camera – and off you go to the legendary castles!
