Neuschwanstein Castle, Fall


Yes, snow in my fall shot.
As you may recall, this castle has graced my blog before.  But I wanted to try to get some pictures with the changing leaves.  Lots of vibrant color.  I may have been a bit early.  But the snow was earlier than me.  So I did have a small window to try with.  This is the first trip where I managed to make it before they closed the trails to Marian's Bridge.  This bridge gives you a great shot of the Neuschwanstein Castle.  But you can take ever better pictures of the castle if you hike past the bridge.  You do have to cross a bent fence to get to the better pictures.

Starting my climb to get the 3rd picture above.
Interestingly, I was ok crossing this bridge.  There were tons of tourist on it, but I didn't get anxiety like I normally do high up.  Which I figured I would.  Especially since it was 3 people deep the whole way across.  Not sure what changed, but I like it.
The mountain I climbed to get some of the beautiful pictures above:
I did not climb to the peak.  I made it to the little ridge near the peak.  But it was fairly high up there.  This concludes the behind the scenes tour of how I get the pictures.
