Germany Best view of Neuschwanstein Castle
A rarely photographed, but beautiful view of Neuschwanstein Castle. It is quite a challenge to get there, since you have to climb a steep and dangerous mountainside. It is great fun to be up here all alone and watching the masses of tourists cramping on the Mary's bridge.
There is another, slightly lower vantage point - see "Best view of Neuschwanstein Castle II".

Photography Tips
You should get along with a standard 24-70 mm lens.
If you want to photograph the sunset keep in mind that you will have to take the descent in the dark, which is very dangerous.
