Experience the globally renowned Neuschwanstein Castle in a way you've never done before—away from the bustling crowds and enveloped by nature's tranquillity. Rather than following the typical tourist path, you'll ascend to the castle via a serene, scenic trail that truly captures the area's peaceful allure. Along this journey, you'll also be treated to magnificent views of Hohenschwangau Castle and the crystal-like Lake Alpsee.
Your full-day guided tour commences with a direct pick-up from your accommodation in Munich in a cosy, air-conditioned vehicle. Following a two-hour drive to Hohenschwangau, your hike begins with a stroll along the tranquil shores of Lake Alpsee, set against a backdrop of striking alpine scenery. Within just half an hour, you'll catch your first sight of the magical Neuschwanstein Castle—from a secluded viewpoint seldom visited by tourists. There’s ample time to capture photos and soak up the serene atmosphere. In summer (June - August), there's even an opportunity to take a dip in the lake.
After approximately two hours of leisurely hiking, you arrive at the Castle. You’ll have time to explore the grounds, visit the famous Marienbrücke (Mary’s Bridge) before joining the official English-guided tour of the castle. By evening, you'll find yourself back in Munich, filled with unforgettable memories of your day.
