Set against the Bavarian Alps, Neuschwanstein Castle is the quintessential fairy tale castle. It was commissioned by the eccentric King Ludwig II in the mid-19th century, though he didn't live long enough to see it completed. More than 6,000 people visit the castle daily to admire its magnificent towers, frescoes, and throne hall, and it's the real-life inspiration for the castle in Disneyland. Another palace worth visiting is the Schaezlerpalais in Augsburg, which today serves as an art museum showcasing Baroque paintings and Southern German paintings from the 15th–18th centuries.
Nature lovers will find plenty of opportunities to explore the great outdoors in Swabia. Take a hiking tour through the Breitachklamm, the deepest gorge in Europe, or go on a camping trip with the kids and the dog on the banks of Lake Constance. The Kinderfest in Lindau is another family-friendly event. Held annually in July, it features a parade with the town's children wearing traditional costumes. History buffs and culture vultures can go on museum-hopping jaunts to marvel at Roman antiquities and exquisite gold and silver metalwork.
Swabia has a humid continental climate, with warm and humid summers and chilly winters. It's hottest in July and August, with temperatures reaching a high of 74 degrees, while the longest summer days top out at 16 hours in June. But it's still a good idea to keep an umbrella handy, since wet days aren't unheard of in June; in fact, it sees more showers than any other month. Winter can be extremely cold, with temperatures hovering in the mid-20s from December to February. But don't worry, Swabia vacation rentals have electric heating or fireplaces to keep the chill at bay.
