Description: Short, easy hike to the castle of the fairytale king Ludwig II.
Directions: The starting point is the car park or the Hohenschwangau bus stop, where you can also buy tickets for Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles at the ticket centre. The castle is reached after about 40 minutes on Neuschwansteinstraße. Please note: Please arrive on time as the tickets are only valid for a timed tour. At the castle, you can first visit the inner courtyard and admire the landscape on the Zimmermannsplatz to the left. After the tour, it is definitely worth making a detour to the Marienbrücke bridge with its magnificent view. Return to the car park along the same route. You can also travel there and back in comfort by coach or shuttle bus.
