📍 Destination Overview
Fussen, at the foot of Germany's Bavarian Alps, is the Romantic Road's terminus and gateway to Neuschwanstein Castle. This thousand-year-old town on the Lech River charms with frescoed houses and a monastery. Nearby Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein Castles rise on hills; the latter, built by Ludwig II, inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty castle, mirrored in the lakes below.
