CNN —An inspiration for Walt Disney’s imagination for the Sleeping Beauty castle, Germany’s Neuschwanstein Castle is a go-to tourist destination for around 1.4 million people per year. However, in September, Manow’s two worlds collided as the 34-year-old became the first person to detach from a paraglider mid-air and fly past Neuschwanstein Castle wearing just a wingsuit. The German performed a 328-foot free fall before whistling by the castle, reaching a top speed of 124 mph. As well as taking various practice flights, the skydiver also built a special paragliding harness into his wingsuit to safely release himself. Max Manow flew past Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria in a wingsuit.
