We were on a guided tour to the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany, and we were given 30 minutes to get from the bottom of the hill to the top where the castle was before the tour starts. Being young and fit we passed most people and got to the top within 15 minutes. Once on the top, we noticed a small path with a "Do not Cross" sign. We decided to ignore it and ventured on the path. We were treated with this beautiful view of the valley below, with the Hohenschwangau Castle in the foreground and the Alps in the background.
I guess sometimes it pays to break the rules.
