They run tours every 5 minutes. We took the tour, but it was super fast. I was a bit disappointed we didn't have time to roam around the inside and look at stuff. It was a whirlwind tour though the rooms. They herded us thorough each room quickly after a brief shpiel. It was too short a time to see everything, but what I did see was amazing! Ornate paintings in every room. Ornate everything in each room! No wonder he bankrupted his country and never managed to finish it all.
After the rapid tour, we made the hike to the bridge that puts you in the position to get the very best picture of the castle. It was amazing! We had a good day and I really enjoyed the castle.
For a princely sum, you could take the horse carriage up to the castle. Why would someone choose to do that?
Well, this is the view from the bottom! You had a steep, mile long walk up to the castle.
Almost there!!
The funny thing is that the castle looked very different from each side. See, it looks like a totally different place here. And I took of my jacket during that long hike up! I warmed up nicely.
This is what is on the other side, away from the castle.... nothing! Fine, not the best photo. You can't really tell that it is a steep and very deep drop behind me.
The front of the castle. This is the entry to the courtyard.
Inside the courtyard. Pretty awesome!
This is the last side. So from each side, it looks like a totally different castle.
No photos were allowed inside the castle, but it was AMAZING!
I'm on the hike to the perfect shot spot.
Looking down into the valley. We were pretty high up there!
Oh my! Yep, you can see how it might have inspired Walt Disney!
It sure is spectacular!
