Disney meets King Ludwig II
balhannah Says: DON'T MISS THIS VIEWPOINT!Next to the Kiosk on the way down the hill, to the right is a wonderful view-point that overlooks the valley below and the town of Schwangau. There are seats and telescope's for viewing. Beautiful!
balhannah Says: On arrival, I first went to Marienbruck bridge to view the Castle and to see the waterfalls. From there, I saw the start of the falls, but to see the biggest section, the best view is before entering the Neuschwanstein Castle. Take a look over the edge!I was looking directly...
balhannah Says: As I mentioned previously, I wasn't able to do the tour of the inside of the Castle because of time constraints. This didn't matter, as I had seen this Castle many times on Travel documentaries.On the outside, I did find some some impressive looking heads staring down at me!...
DIE JUGEND VIEWPOINT NEUSCHWANSTEIN TRAIL
balhannah Says: After coming back from Marienbrucke, we took the trail that led to Neuschwanstein Castle. Quite a nice walk, and on the way is the Die Jugend Viewpoint. We stopped here, and found an incredible view of Hohenschwangau Castle and many lakes and great scenery. A good place for...
balhannah Says: We caught the Bus which took us to where the trails begin for Neuschwanstein Castle and Marienbruck. On alighting from the Bus, you should 1st walk to here, and then to the Castle. We did this short walk to the 304 ft high Bridge that spans the Gorge. This bridge is actually...

The beergarden at Füssen's Musical Theatre: Great views
sabsi Says: This is one of the most scenic terrace cafes/beergardens I have ever had the pleasure to visit. It's located directly at Forggensee as it's part of Festspielhaus Neuschwanstein, the Musical theatre opposite Schloss Neuschwanstein where the show "Ludwig 2" is on. Fntastic...
Zur-Neven-Burg: A sugary treat....
Maryimelda Says: This is a wonderful cafe on the downhill walk from the Castle which is fabulous for a coffee and cake or an ice cream before heading back to Hohenschwangau. A feature of the establsihment is a street stall set up in front of the cafe which sells some wonderful little treats...
balhannah Says: We have parked our Car, and seen about the admission tickets, so now it is time for us to decide which way to climb the hill to the Castle.Well, as neither of us are what you call "real young," walking up the steep hill really didn't appeal! Walks are signposted and give...
balhannah Says: As we had our own Car, we drove the 5km from Fussen to Hohenschwangau. This is as far as we could go by private car.On arrival at Hohenschwangau, we noticed a Car Park that was filling. and we wondered if we should park there. Thank-goodness, we decided to drive on as far as...
AcornMan Says: Neuschwanstein Castle is near the Forggensee in the Allgäu, very close to Schwangau. The path to the castle starts in the village of Hohenschwangau, and this is also your last opportunity to park. You must buy your tickets down here too, before you set off for the castle.On...
Visit To The Castle By Horse-Drawn carriage
rich77 Says: Even if I suggest to go up by foot, there is also a service of carriage. The departure point is located in Hotel Müller, Alpseestraße in Hohenschwangau. From the carriage stand at the castle it is about 300m - approximately a 5-minute walk - to the castle entrance. Tickets'...
balhannah Says: Just a short walk downhill from the Castle in the opposite direction to the Bus stop, are some Souvenir stalls and Kiosk.Having a look here, I found the prices comparable with elsewhere.What I did buy, is the small, light-weight book on Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau...
balhannah Says: We arrived at the car park early so we could get tickets easily to see Newschwanstein Castle.Well, it didn't work out like that! In June, at 9.30am, there wasn't even a queue at the ticket office, something I didn't expect at any time of the year. Before heading to a window...
heitzenrater Says: Within the span of 45 minutes it the weather changed from sunny to hail. This is due to the fact that the Alps can alter the patterns of the winds, and chill the air as it passes over the mountains. Also the valley can contain warm air, while colder air lingers above. Notice...
Do yourself a favor - get tickets in advance
ilyathemuromets Says: We got tickets in advance with a preset time, however, we got to the town well in advance (more than one hour before our time). Skipping the line we went straight to the reservations. We were offered to take another tour so we would not need to wait that long. Which was...

The dream castle of King Ludwig
I strongly reccomend reading the story of King Ludwig - the "mad" king of swans before starting the tips page. It's a very interesting reading about the young king who had a dream (or more).

Once upon a time.... Neuschwanstein Castle
Neuschwanstein Castle was on my "To-Do-before-I-am-old-and-grey-List" for many years basically because I am attracted to Kitsch and Tourist Magnets like this.
