Did you know that a gorgeous German castle is the inspiration for the design of the Magic Kingdom Castle at Disney?
Kids might like to read more about the original castle in King Ludwig's Castle: Germany's Neuschwanstein by Lisa Trumbauer or about Germany in a Cultures of the World series title. Families might like also like to share any of a number of European travel videos hosted by the Travel Channel's Samantha Brown.
