Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall was a barrier which divided the East and West of Berlin from 1961 to 1989. The wall made it very difficult for the people of Berlin to cross the East West border, there were 12 checkpoints built along the wall which soldiers guarded. First built using barbed wire the wall was eventually 12 foot tall and 4 foot wide, topped with a huge pipe which made climbing it very difficult, in fact over 170 people were killed trying to get over the wall. In 1989 when the cold war began, it was decided that citizens were free to cross the border and the wall began to be destroyed. The survived sections of the wall can still be seen today displaying artwork from over 100 artists.
Romantic Road
The Romantic Road is one of the world’s oldest touring Roads and Germany’s most popular tourist route. It was created in 1950 with the aim to bring more tourism to Germany following the war. The 350km road stretches from Würzburg to Füssen passing through many towns such as The old town of Dinkelsbühl and by the fairytale castle of Neuschwanstein.
The 19th-century Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most visited castles in Europe, it was built for King Ludwig II on a hill above Hohenschwangau in Bavaria as a private retreat. Following the death of the king before the completion of the castle in 1886, the fairytale castle was opened to the public. The castle now has millions of visitors each year.
