Olddaddy Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Watching the Dw world news this morning, terrible stuff about the murder of a American girl in a Castle Disney in Germany Think I might not visit there they seem to have a high crime rate . A workmate went to Munich last year for a week and said he was accosted on the railway tunnels by Middle eastern refugees Doesn't sound nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caeron Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 The victim and the perpetrator were Americans. Apparently, we're so good at killing each other that we export it. Olddaddy, alvnv, Ruthrieston and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterRS Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I've been travelling in Germany for several decades, visited many cities and villages, taken trains, flights and driven in several states many times - and never once had any issue whatever. The castle is not Castle Disney, although the Disney castles seem to have used it very roughly as a model. It is Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, one of several castles built by mad King Ludwig II who bankrupted the state's treasury by bankrolling the mega operas by the composer Richard Wagner. He was murdered aged 40 in the Lake at the castle where he was staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forky123 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Neuschwanstein Schloss is one of the most beautiful places to visit, as is Bavaria to be fair. While based in Germany in the 90's I spent nearly all my leave in Bavaria and it was time very well spent. vinapu and PeterRS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpaulo Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Horrible murders happen every day in Canada, my home country. I wouldn't advise anybody to stay away because of that. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perched on the hill, Schloss Neuschwanstein looks stunning although the bus tours now make driving up there a real trial. I preferred the much smaller Schloss Linderhof with its beautiful gardens and lovely rooms. Also nearby is the stunning rococo design of the Wieskirche. simcity, splinter1949, Olddaddy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
