Here's our list of the top five things to see during a short road trip from Munich.

Neuschwanstein Castle (pictured)

This fairy-tale like castle on a Bavarian mountaintop was built by the famous King Ludwig II. Although incomplete, the architecture is stunning and even went on to castles you see in Disney movies. To get the best view of the 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace, make sure you walk to Marienbruck (Mary's Bridge). You'll just above the castle. To avoid the crowd taking photos, continue after the bridge and hike a little higher up the hill. You'll have a postcard view all to yourself. you’re in town. Also hire a row boat on the lake in town for another romantic and picturesque experience. Where to stay: Camping Brunnen
