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.

June 24, 2023,Wanderung zur Marienbrücke

The ascent to the Marienbrücke after leaving the paved path was very steep, good shoes are recommended in wet weather. Lots of roots and some loose rock. Waiting time at the Marienbrücke, restricted access, see photos.
On the way to the castle there is a beautiful vantage point with a view of the foothills of the Alps with Alpsee and …

The weather forecast predicted a lot of rain 🌧️ today. I really lacked 🐕 the motivation for a longer day trip. Swimming 💦 in a lake or a stream, I'm always up for that. But my fur doesn't like rain from above at all.

We didn't take the main path, but rather steeply up through the forest to the Marienbrücke. Deserted route. The view from the bridge of Neuschwanstein Castle is unique.

A little hiking trip to the fairytale castle of King 👑 Ludwig.
Unfortunately I forgot to start the recording right from the parking lot [10k fee].
There was a lot going on, unfortunately since 2020 you can only enter the schoolyard with an admission ticket. The way to the Marienblücke is worthwhile. The view 🏞 🏰 is simply wonderful.
