It is a lovely autumn here in Innsbruck, with beautiful sunny days and temperatures that reach 15 degrees in November... Since the weather was so pleasant, last Saturday I went with Srdjan and Federico to Neuschwanstein Castle, near Füssen, in Germany (one hour and a half by car from here).

It is the famous fake medieval castle built at the end of the 19th century by king Ludwig II of Bavaria, which also served as inspiration for Disneyland castle. I had already been inside the castle, and I think once it is worth visiting... at least to see how crazy was that man, with the throne room in Byzantine style, the fake grotto, and so on (well, Berlusconi has a fake volcano in the garden, which is probably a not so different thing...). This time however we preferred nature, so we had a nice walk in the surroundings, also enjoying a striking view of the castle from above. It is a very famous place, stormed by tourists (luckily not so many in November), but nice.

No, unfortunately I haven't been at the Oktoberfest, even if it's now and Munich is not far from here... and I know this song is silly (and the video too), but I liked it. :-)
