RE: Hiking to Neuschwanstein Castle

in Worldmappin3 years ago

I lived in Germany for a while and loved, loved, loved that castle! I put my three kids on the wall and took their pictures. :) Oh, the memories.

Your pictures are awesome! I love how you took stunning shots of the countryside, the hiking and the water! Yes! Gorgeous. I just started perusing your profile. Hello? What took me so long?

The rocks on the roofs?

During those frigid Alpine winters, the more snow you had on your roof, the better your home was insulated. Ice would freeze the rocks to the roof. The rocks would bear up the logs, and there you have it!

I hope you are having a great day!

Well thanks for checking out my blog and for clarifying the purpose of those mysterious roof rocks. I knew that someone would come to my rescue on that. That's awesome that you lived in Germany for a time. It must have been a great experience.

It was amazing. Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and and and... it has been awesome. Most of them before I liked cameras. Seriously. I am a late bloomer. :(

That sounds awesome.
Yeah I'm the same. I got my first cell phone at 25 - which was very late compared to others in my cohort. I was like 7 years late to that game haha
