Ringberg Castle is beautifully located in the Bavarian Alps above the village Kreuth, just south of Tegernsee, about 60 km south of Munich and about 300 km from Stuttgart. It was built by Herzog Luitpold a relative of King Ludwig of Bayern who built Neuschwanstein (the model for the fairy-tale castle at Disney Land).
