View of Neuschwanstein Castle

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.

From the west side of the castle, you look out over the Alpine foothills to the Forggensee. In clear weather, the view extends far beyond the lake and the surrounding villages.

View of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castles from the Alpsee shore

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the lower end of the lake you have a beautiful view of the two castles.
Dog owners should know that when going around the lake you have to walk over gratings, they cannot be bypassed.

October 28, 2023,📍 Hohenschwangau: 🏰Neuschwanstein-, 🏰 Hohenschwangau-, Alpsee-Runde ☀️🍁🍃🍂🌳

It is one of the most famous sights in Germany and probably the most photographed building in the country:
Neuschwanstein Castle near Füssen in the Allgäu! 🏰
Today we were finally there (and quite spontaneously 😉)!
With countless Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Swiss and so many more! 😉
Nevertheless, fortunately it wasn't that crowded and the activity on the Marienbrücke …
