It's the base that is about an hour or so away from where I've been at all summer in Ansbach. You can see the map below showing the base (it's southeast Germany- the...
Okay I've got some awesome news to share!

This was ordered to be built by King Ludwig II in 1869, and is a tribute to the opera writer Wagner. There are swans all over the castle and much of the art depicts scenes from Wagner plays. The castles was never...
