Munich & Fussen Germany

We arrived in Munich late in the afternoon and after checking into our hotel, we headed out to "old town". Munich was just a layover for us as we were heading to Fussen, so we had to see the famous clock and the Hofbrauhaus.

Yum, large soft pretzels!

The old clock (glockenspiel) at Old Town city square with life size figures.


Our carriage ride up to Neuschwanstien Castle.


Ready for the ride (it was snowing while we were visiting)


We passed a carriage coming down the mountain as we went up!


A look at King Ludwig's childhood castle home (Hohenschwangau)
