The gorge remains unnoticed by the masses. What a pity.

Very good service, I have added the price list. There are also rooms, another snack bar and souvenir shops. If you like quark balls and ice cream, you will also get your money's worth here, there are food trucks available.

Highlight • Castle

Best-known postcard motif in Germany? At least close! It can be crowded here, but a visit to the extravagant and beautiful castle definitely pays off.

September 20, 2024,Schloss Neuschwanstein und zur Marienbrücke

Today we finally wanted to see Neuschwanstein Castle up close. So we cycled to the train station in Füssen and from there took the bus up towards Neuschwanstein Castle...again free, thanks to the Königscard.😉Then the hike began. Quite strenuous for a flatland Tyrolean like me, but very worthwhile. The further walk to the Marienbrücke, from where you have this fantastic …

June 24, 2023,Wanderung zur Marienbrücke

The ascent to the Marienbrücke after leaving the paved path was very steep, good shoes are recommended in wet weather. Lots of roots and some loose rock. Waiting time at the Marienbrücke, restricted access, see photos.
On the way to the castle there is a beautiful vantage point with a view of the foothills of the Alps with Alpsee and …

The weather forecast predicted a lot of rain 🌧️ today. I really lacked 🐕 the motivation for a longer day trip. Swimming 💦 in a lake or a stream, I'm always up for that. But my fur doesn't like rain from above at all.
So we thought we'd visit the number 1 tourist destination - off to Neuschwanstein Castle.
As …

We didn't take the main path, but rather steeply up through the forest to the Marienbrücke. Deserted route. The view from the bridge of Neuschwanstein Castle is unique.

A little hiking trip to the fairytale castle of King 👑 Ludwig.
Unfortunately I forgot to start the recording right from the parking lot [10k fee].
There was a lot going on, unfortunately since 2020 you can only enter the schoolyard with an admission ticket. The way to the Marienblücke is worthwhile. The view 🏞 🏰 is simply wonderful.

This morning I got on a crowded bus full of students shortly after 7 so that I could get to Marienbrücke as early as possible 😉
The climb was quite difficult without breakfast, but it was really worth it 😍🤩.
It was just beautiful 😃
Have breakfast first ☺️

Short stopover in Schwangau with a short tour up to Neuschwarnstein Castle. Challenging ascent is rewarded with a great view of the castle from the Marienbrücke. Way back as a recommendation through the forest, not so many tourists and positive energy from the forest.
