One Day in Gray City of Mozart, Salzburg

-
Having assessed all the advantages of the Bad Hofgastein ski resort, yet we decided to fulfil our trip to Austria with a portion of historicism. The nearest and the most wanted candidate to be seen over was Salzburg – a city that gave Mozart to our world.

Old town of Salzburg, Austria.

In this country the roads are perfect even in winter. In a way to the most musical city of Austria we noticed a massive castle at one of the mountain tops. Hmm, looks like the schedule for today is tightening, we ought to visit it on our way back!

Neuschwanstein Castle – Decoration for Life

When I was preparing to visit Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles in Bavaria, I have found in one of the blogs a resuming impression about the first one as a monument to solitude. And I was like: “What a nice title for the future blogpost”. It is commonly known that a proper title is already half of the battle, and I only had to go to Bavaria, take some pictures of the castles and develop this idea.

However when I parked at the parking place number two in the village Schwangau, located at the footing of Neuschwanstein, and went out of the car I immediately realized that my own impression on the most beautiful castle in the world would be completely different.
