Wohnhaus und Statuette

Few towns stand so tightly under a limestone wall.

The Dolomites rise south of the Hohe Tauern, their pale crags catching the evening light while the valleys below hold Roman ruins, medieval strongholds and the quiet graves of soldiers.

Schwangau’s twin castles crown a landscape of alpine lakes and sheer rock faces, where King Ludwig II’s dream of a medieval realm still stands in stone.
