Neuschwanstein

Neuschwanstein schloss
photo by: Iñaki Amuchastegui

World-famous fairy-tale castle built by King Ludwig II on an imposing rock in the seclusion of the mountains. Close by are the old castle of Hohenschwangau and the crystal clear Alpsee lake. About two hours by car from Munich.

Although the inside of the castle was never finished by king Ludwig, it is still an impressive view. There is a little bridge where you can hike to from where you can have a full view of the castle on the top of the mountain and the two lakes on the background. No wonder Disney was inspired by this more..

Dachau

It is both a town and the site of the first Nazi concentration camp. The site of the camp (10 mi/16 km from Munich) can be visited though, it might be difficult to find—the route there is not well marked. Be prepared for an emotional experience—no one leaves unmoved or unchanged by a visit.

Zugspitze - The Highest Mountain in Germany

Take a trip to Garmish-Partenkirchen which is an 1.5 -2 hour trip from Munich on the train. From there you can take a trip up to the summit of the highest mountain in Germany - the Zugspitze. The Zugspitze can be found in the Bavarian Alps, straddling the border with Austria. The eastern summit is 9732ft/2967m high. Take the Zugspitzbahn and then able car to reach the summit. The views are truly awesome and words don't do them justice. You can apparently see five different countries on a clear day. Also if you get time why not take a stroll round the Eibsee lake nearby after more..
