We took the regular tourist path going up to Schloss Neuschwanstein. The hike took us around 45 minutes (it really varies depending on one's strides and frequency of stops to rest).
After visiting the castle, we passed by Mariahilbrucke or the hanging bridge (made of steel to withstand the weight of the tourists trying to get a good shot of the castle). And what a shot! from there, you can really have a very good and clear view of the castle, mountains and fields.
From the bridge, going back to the lowland, we took a detour and followed the path less traveled - through the woods. Just follow the graveled foot path and you won't be lost. It is a longer route, but you have the trees, birds and very few people as companions. The path ends near the edge of the lake. Leave a Comment

 Return from th Alps by dabidc
They appeared to be without direction so it may not have been so lucky. Fortunatley all was well and no one was hurt when the cows suddenly appeared.
One thing to listen out for is the sound of the bells aorund the animals necks. Leave a Comment

There is a fair amount of walking available from Fussen to the castle, and you can even go up the mountain and get tremendous views over the valley. Leave a Comment

the longer route back from the castle goes through the woods along the river, is very nice and not so busy as the faster way back.

Different times of the year will yield different results for your walk. It was fairly slushy at times during our stroll and the spring vegetation hadn't yet sprung forth.
As with most walks of this type, the scenery is constantly changing.
The varying angle will make what you saw a minute ago seem completely different and offer different photo opportunites.
These are samples of my snow shots. Leave a Comment

In a way it's not really an "Off the beaten path" activity as there is a well trod path around this small lake at the base of the alps. It's just that compared to Neuschwanstein and Hohenswhangau, the number of tourists is a trickle.
I had wanted to walk around it on my previous trip but ran out of time and was uncertain just how long it would take. Had I simply noticed the sign my question would have been answered! It happens to be about 90 minutes around this body of water and, on the northern side there's a lovely aspect looking directly at the first of the alps.
On a clear day you might get a wonderful reflection shot but I had to make do with a reasonable one as my pictures indicate. They also reflect that it was wintry conditions although it was Easter, albeit at the earliest of its dates in March. It had snowed lightly for the previous two days and was about to dump even more that day and night and that made for a nice colour variation on the peaks. It's a fairly flat walk except for a minor hill near Hohenswhangau but it's definitely not suited to wheelchairs and can get a bit wet after snow, as it was for us. Leave a Comment
