Now that we’ve tiptoed around a Parisian palace, it’s time to talk castles. Built in the late 1800s, this is the castle that inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. It’s a fantastical example of what a real-life fairy tale castle might look like, especially when you see it perched atop a rugged hill in Bavaria. You can still go inside today, but only as part of a guided tour. If you ever find yourself on the German/Austrian border, be sure to step into the pages of this book for an afternoon.
