My trip to the Neuschwanstein Castle + Winter landscape
Today I would like to share my excursion to the Neuschwanstein Castle with you!
We left the Nuremberg main station by train at 8am. I have to mention that there was no snow at all in Nuremberg, it was cold but not really cold enough for snow. Our journey to Füssen took us about 3 hours. After about 2 hours of driving you have already seen how everything is completely white and full of snow, beautiful! I love snow totally and there was so much snow! When we arrived at the main station in Füssen, we had to go by bus for about 10 minutes to the mountain where the castle stands. Getting off the bus, it started. Up the mountain, hard but beautiful as you can see here:
The way to the top
The Neuschwanstein Castle
It really is a beautiful castle! Both inside and outside! Unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures inside, but I respect that of course. We did the tour through the castle. We have to say, the staff was very listless and really not in a good mood, but you had an audio device and you could listen to a much nicer voice and learn more about the castle. I must say I found the tour really interesting! I didn't know much about the castle or the builder King Ludwig II before.
The Marien bridge
It is really a beautiful bridge and the view from there is surely even more breathtaking than anyway, so it's even more sad that it is closed. Just as I watched some pictures on Google, I get even more annoyed because it's really... wow. But the few photos I could take are still nice! And the bridge doesn't look really safe anymore... In spite of all this, the view was great, no matter where you stood!
A few impressions from above

| I thought the little church down there was really cool, as it's in almost nothing, really nice to look at! | There was a viewing platform with a waterfall underneath. You couldn't see the end and the beginning at all.... |
Final words
It was really a wonderful day trip and I highly recommend it! Especially in winter it was a real winter wonderland, simply enchanting! But also in summer I have seen on google, it's apparently really nice there. I hope you enjoyed my little contribution! Underneath you can now see a picture of Hohenschwangau Castle, which is quite opposite of Neuschwanstein Castle, so I took some photos. It doesn't really fit into this post, but I don't want to make an extra post. Ciao!

Hiya, just swinging by to let you know that this post made the Honorable Mentions list in today's Travel Digest!
Thanks for that!
Really nice post about the castle...
I went there last year and passed the castle to go on the mountain “Säugling“. A very nice trip and its so great to leave all the tourists behind you and enjoying the quietness at the mountain! 🤗
Thanks!
And this mountain looks impressive! Maybe a trip for the future...thanks for sharing this tip! :)
Wow, thank you! :)
Nueschwanstein is super cool! I have always wanted to go. Last year I almost went, to do a road trip through Germany (I'm from The Netherlands) with Neuschwanstein as the final destination, but my travel partners quit on me at the last moment! :(
Oh, you really have to.. I'm sorry to hear this but maybe next time!
