A great place to go that is just magical is called Tupelo Gum Pond in Missouri, USA. It is one of the most remote places and very hard to get to without a 4-wheel-drive.

Stunning photos, but where is the original of Disney’s Cinderella Casle–Neuschwanstein in Bavaria?

Yes, it’s in Bavaria:

Some incredible places and beautiful pictures. I agree with Katherines comments about Sintra in Portugal, it is out of this world.

Fort Myers and Naples Beaches are very beautiful. Nothing is more inspiring than the sunsets over playful dolphins. Even an excursion into the everglades would be amazing. And lets not forget the sport fishing, need I say more?
