Mural Town, Upper Amergau

Close to Neuschwanstein Castle, Haute-Amogau is a quiet town known for its fine murals and wood carvings. Ober means "up" in German, and Amergau is the name of the national park from which the town gets its name.

It is an outdoor mural museum with a variety of themes, including myths and legends, Bible stories, Grimm's fairy tales, and agricultural life. With a special fresco method, the colors are vivid and not easy to fade. The small houses with painted exteriors seem to be a feature of Upper Bavaria and Tyrol. Little Red Riding Hood, Candy House, Bremen musicians, where fairy tales are also a source of inspiration for artists.

I randomly ate an ice cream cone, and it was said that both the size and the taste were worse than those in Switzerland, but the happiness brought by the town made the taste of the ice cream less important.

It is said that once every ten years the whole village participates in a grand performance of the Passion of the Christ. This large-scale religious stage play was first performed in 1634, when the Black Death was raging, and the regional leaders prayed to the gods for protection and promised to perform a passion play every ten years to fulfill their vows. Over time, it has formed local religious traditions and become a unique tourism culture. Everyone is the artist of life, this place, is the peach garden at the foot of the Alps.

Finally, I feel that German stout is really quite good to drink, I don't drink once a year, but drink a glass of beer, breaking my impression of beer is not good, of course, with roast pig elbow can be considered a great experience.

Weiss Church

After the Baroque, the Rococo style prevailed in Europe, especially in Central Europe. Compared to Baroque, Rococo loses the dramatic tension and floats on the surface. That being said, the moment you open the door to a Rococo building and suddenly see a magnificent interior that is completely different from the outside of the building, it is still very shocking.

Built in 1754 and dedicated to a statue of the flogged Saviour, Bavaria's Wysse Church became famous as a pilgrimage church after it was said to have been seen crying.

The church of Weiss perfectly embodies the Rococo style of Nand. The exterior of the building is simple and simple, like brushing powder, yellow, green and other colors, when entering the interior, the style changes, filled with a lot of curves, the statues are mostly gilded, and the frescoes on the ceiling use the perspective principle to increase the three-dimensional sense.

The journey to Weiss Church and to Neuschwanstein Castle is the same train, and when everyone gets off at the Neuschwanstein stop and you stay on the train to go to Weiss Church alone, the feeling of pilgrimage begins.

Legend has it that a shepherdess found a Saviour statue in tears here, so the birth of this pilgrimage church. The church is a typical Rococo building, pink, blue and gold decoration holy and sweet. It happened to be Mass in the church, the singing of hymns was like a dream, and the angels were watching curiously from the colonnades.

"There are many roads to heaven, but there must be one that goes through Wes Church." Open the "heaven's gate" of the church, the open grass under the sun, the Alps in the distance, and at this moment, I do not know whether to return to the earth or rush to heaven.

Neuschwanstein Castle

You can't be a Disney fan without checking out the original castle!

It was quite a journey from Munich to Neuschwanstein. From Munich train station Munchen Hbf, take the train to Fussen, then follow the crowds and take the 78/73 bus (it's a long gap).

When you get down, look at the ticket sign and walk about 100 meters to the ticket office. Ignore it if you're not going to look inside. Near the ticket office there will be carriages or blue buses going up the hill. The bus stop is a little further on after you see the carriage. 3 euros up and 2 euros down, 3.5 round trip.

There are two forks after the blue bus stops. To the left is the castle, to the right is the Marian Bridge. Picture 1 shows the view from the bridge. Getting on the bridge will control the flow of people.

See the moment, really want to cry impulse! This is my dream love castle! Now really see with my own eyes, the weather is so perfect! On the way back to the railway station, it rained heavily, so we can say that we were very lucky!

After going down the hill, go towards the front of the blue bus and you will find the Alpine Lake. It's beautiful. Don't miss it.

Neuschwanstein Castle is everyone's dream castle, but there are no fairy tales about princes and princesses here. Ludwig II, a mad artist, architect, engineer, inventor, built this castle with all his might and money. He planned the arcade, the singers' hall, the servants' quarters, the kitchen, the dining room, the bedrooms... It didn't leave a king's throne in the castle, coincidence or metaphor. Neuschwanstein Castle and the High Chwanstein Castle are far away, you can imagine, the son of Neuschwanstein Castle is spirited and rebellious; And my father, surely from a window in the Yellow High Swan Castle, looked anxiously at the lonely white swan.
