Know before you book

  • Specialised infant seats are available
  • Not recommended for travellers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Can you walk the slightly uphill asphalt path from the car park to Neuschwanstein Castle - approx. 1.5 km within an hour? If not, an additional (waiting) time requirement for the horse-drawn hybrid carriage or the shuttle bus must be taken into account. In any case, you still have to walk about 450 metres (with a gradient of up to 15%) or around 500m (with a gradient of up to 19%) from the respective final stop to the castle entrance. The shuttle bus does not run during snow and ice. We would be happy to accompany you so that you can reach your tour on time.
  • There are a total of 346 stairs (up and down) to climb in Neuschwanstein Castle. If this is too much for you, and if you have a corresponding medical certificate stating that you are unable to walk or have limited mobility, etc. (must be scanned and sent to us in advance), we can arrange an exclusive lift service just for you with a maximum of one companion, accompanied by Castle staff, book. The lift service is at no additional cost, but (due to fire regulations) the number of tours with this service is very limited and must be reconfirmed by the castle authorities.
  • Neuschwanstein Castle can also be reached with strollers, but neither they nor other larger items of luggage (e.g. prams, larger backpacks) are allowed during the castle tour.
  • If you plan to spend a longer period of time outdoors on the Zugspitze, please remember to wear suitable clothing (temperature differences of 20°C/68°F between mountain and valley are not uncommon!). For those who would like to try out the sleighs, we recommend a change of clothing. Please also remember sunglasses and sun cream!

Zugspitze
  • 2h 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Enjoy an unforgettable day and an overwhelming 360° panorama on Germany's highest mountain. Even the ride on the ultra-modern cable car is a unique experience! Alternatively and/or for the return journey you can take the cog railway. You can use the glacier cable car between the mountain station of the cog railway and the summit as often as you like. In the summer months, depending on the snow conditions, you can rent toboggans ("Zipfelbobs") from the 'Sonnalpin' restaurant (subject to availability). There or in the highest beer garden in Germany or in one of the other numerous restaurants on the Zugspitze you can enjoy a variety of meals to suit every taste.
Eibsee
  • 20m
Located at the foot of the majestic Zugspitze, the Eibsee is one of the most beautiful Alpine lakes. Take a boat trip (in summer), a short walk to the top photo spot Eibseebrücke or hike with us around in around 75 minutes and marvel at the overwhelming mountain panorama and the numerous islands and islets!
Hohenschwangau
  • 10m
After another hour of driving through the beautiful Upper Bavarian landscape, we approach the Alps and can see the towers of Neuschwanstein at an altitude of around 1000m. We soon reach the small village of Hohenschwangau, which is the starting point to Neuschwanstein Castle (and also Hohenschwangau Castle). Your guide will provide you with skip-the-line tickets to Neuschwanstein Castle and a very detailed map of the area.
Schloss Neuschwanstein
  • 1h 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Neuschwanstein Castle remained unfinished due to the early and mysterious death of its builder, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, and is certainly one of the most visited sights in Germany for this reason. Because of the Corona crisis, tours of the castle have been reduced from 58 to 35 people, and therefore demand far exceeds supply. However, as a participant in our excursion, you will always receive tickets for the castle tour without any waiting times! Your tour guide will also ensure that you are at the castle in time for the start of the tour.
Marienbrücke
  • 25m
THE top viewing point at Neuschwanstein Castle - and one of the most famous in the world! The steel Marienbrücke was built in 1866 under Ludwig II - three years before construction of Neuschwanstein Castle began. ***** Due to its popularity, waiting times for access are to be expected - without delays you can visit a similarly spectacular viewpoint - we will show you how to reach it without any problems! Both viewing points are not accessible in snow and ice.
Oberammergau
  • 30m
Due to the Corona crisis, the famous Oberammergau Passion Play had to be postponed for the first time since World War II. The major event, which always takes place on the full decade, could therefore only take place in 2022. We would be happy to show you the Passion Theatre and its spectacular "convertible stage" on a guided tour of the town and would also be happy to explain the enchanting Lüftl paintings to you. Take your time for a shopping spree in the historic town centre - numerous shops offer a large selection of inexpensive souvenirs, including the famous Oberammergau wood carvings.
Starnberger See
  • 10m
Depending on where the Neuschwanstein tour begins, we pass Lake Starnberg on the way there or back and can see the place where King Ludwig II mysteriously died on June 13, 1886.
