View of Neuschwanstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Perfect for road bikes. With a bike, it's better to stay a bit off to the side – you'll get more out of it.

Cycle Path Below Hohenschwangau Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

As soon as you cycle out of Füssen, you will always have this fantastic view of the fairytale castles of Neuschwanstein Castle and Hohenschwangau. Hohenschwangau once served the royal family as a "modest" summer residence, while Neuschwanstein Castle was built as the "main residence". Only stupid, that its pompous execution claimed 15 years of construction - in the end, builder King Ludwig II spent only a few days in the new home, before he died under mysterious circumstances in Lake Starnberg.

August 30, 2024,👫🏻 Schloss Neuschwanstein & Marienbrücke

On the last day of our vacation we started a little earlier. And that was a good thing, because more and more people were coming to THE tourist attraction. 😅 The buildings are impressive, but I probably won't have to go there again.
Theoretically you could have taken a bus or a carriage, but then the whole charm is lost. …

July 31, 2024,Kleiner Rundgang nach Neuschwanstein 🥾 …

A quick visit to Neuschwanstein Castle, then we went to the crowded Marienbrücke and after cooling off in the Pöllatschlucht we returned to the starting point 🥾

To finish off today there was a bit of culture 😊 Unfortunately Marienbrücke was not possible due to the crowds 🙈

August 30, 2023,Rückfahrt von den Dolomiten: Neuschwanstein – Ausblick auf den Forggensee Runde von Hohenschwangau / Teil 2

On my way back from the Dolomites to my overnight stay in Warmensteinach (winter hiking day in the Ochsenkopf region), I chose the Fernpass from Reutte to Füssen from Innsbruck in order to combine a stopover at Neuschwanstein with a short hike.

June 22, 2024,🇩🇪 Schloss Neuschwanstein 🔃 Schloss Hohenschwangau🏰⛅

Finally, a tourist hotspot, Neuschwanstein.
Nice walk with beautiful views of Neuschwanstein Castle and Hohenschwangau Castle.
The Marienbrücke with so many people on it is borderline 😬

The castle was a must on our tour. It was a shame that the Marienbrücke was closed. The winter weather was a bit of a challenge. But when we got to the top of the castle, the sun came out for a short time.

May 18, 2025,Bayern - Schwangau - Museum der bayerischen Könige - Alpensee - Schloss Neuschwanstein - Hohenschwangau

An interesting excursion into the world of castles in Bavaria, with the Museum of the Bavarian Kings, the Ammergau Alps surrounding it, and the Alpsee lake beautifully nestled between them. Unfortunately, photography is prohibited inside the castles and the museum.
