Neuschwanstein Castle
October’s free wall paper calendar features Neuschwanstein Castle (about 2 hours southwest of Munich by car). The castle, located in the Bavarian Alps, is probably most famous in the Western world for inspiring Walt Disney’s Cinderella castle.
Since 1886 more than 60 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle and more than 1.3 million people still pass through its gates each year.
