Konig Ludwig (Fussen)

On our second day in Germany, we went on a side trip to the city of Fussen. The main purpose of travelling to Fussen is to visit the world famous swan castle Neuschwanstein. It is known as the most beautiful castle in the world. After visiting Neuschwanstein, we went to a local restaurant for lunch. The restaurant is very close to the ticket office and is opposite of the old swan castle Hohenschwangau.



We sat down in one of the outside tables. The service is very slow since there is only one waiter. Even though it’s lunch time, to keep the German tradition, we ordered a half litre Konig Ludwig Hell beer to share. The beer is too bitter for my taste.



For lunch dishes, we ordered pork loins with Spätzle and schnitzel with fries. Spätzle is a type of egg noodle of soft texture. It does not really have a taste to it and makes me feel like eating processed flour. There are some pieces of pork loins that have not been cooked through and still a little bloody. It is quite disgusting to be eating raw pork. It is served with a rich gravy sauce. I prefer the sauce rather than the pork itself. The schnitzel is better, but is not impressive at all. It is slightly burned on the outside and the meat is too rough. The best item in the whole meal may have been the fries.
