You leave Munich on a quiet morning and the autobahn thins into rolling farmland; the Alps start to lift at the horizon like a promise. In the rearview, the city recedes and village steeples appear between pine and pasture. By the time you climb toward Hohenschwangau, the air tastes sharper and the Pöllat Gorge below the castle seems to pull the valley inward, daring you to peer over the rail.
