Mind Boggling Destinations On Earth

8. Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria, Germany

The picturesque nineteenth-century homestead and fortress instantly transport tourists back to the Romanesque Revival period. The magnificent white stone structures hidden deep within the hills provide the area with a stark backdrop. The solid structure was built at the request of King Ludwig II and is still frequently painted, sketched, and reproduced for holiday cards and calendars. This site is, by far, one of the most photographed castles in the world and continues to be a treasured landmark for Germany and all of its citizens. All seasons prove to be picturesque for this building, a not unheard of, but uncommon trait with prominent structures around the world. This building was reported to be constructed on behalf of Ludwig's both political and personal reasons, which makes for a truly emotional history and tradition, available to all who are lucky enough to explore the halls and hear old tales of the fallen German Kingdom. Head over to the United States for a glassy beach constructed by time itself.
