Additional Information

Immerse yourself in an exceptional journey with us:

Revel in the renowned Neuschwanstein castle (featuring DEFINITE SKiP-THE-QUEUE access) and a magnificent triumph of construction:

Stretching 114m (374 ft) tall & exceeding 400m (1,300 ft) long, ‘Highline 179’ ranks amongst the longest foot-suspension bridges globally!
It provides a thrilling juxtaposition to King Ludwig II’s dreamlike castle with its medieval architecture. Understand how the king, a lover of technology, transformed NEUSCHWANSTEIN into a state-of-the-art fortress during the included internal tour.

Just a short distance by car is: THE BRIDGE - Traversing this impressive steel structure, anchored securely to 8 rocks, is not a task for the timid – GET READY FOR THE ADRENALINE RUSH! Its high safety railings covered by nets render it entirely safe, even for youngsters! And it remains accessible throughout the year.

For those troubled by acrophobia, you can appreciate this architectural marvel from various viewpoints - such as the 700-year old EHRENBERG castle ruin - without ever stepping onto it!

  • Are you able to walk slightly uphill from the car park to Neuschwanstein castle (approx. 1,5 km/1mile in an hour’s time)? (If not, the horse carriage or the Shuttle bus (not operating during snow and ice) must be used – anyway, an approx. 450 meters/0.28 miles uphill walk (up to 15 % slope) or an approx. 500 meters/0.31 miles downhill walk (up to 19 % gradient) from the respective terminal to the entrance of the castle have to be managed in any case!) Your guide can assist your group to make sure that you’ll find your way. - In Neuschwanstein castle there are 346 stairs alltogether (up and down) to be managed.  If this is too much for you and if you have an appropriate medical certificate of disability or resstriction of mobility or similar (must be scanned and posted in advance), an exclusive lift service only for you with a maximum of one companion, accompanied by a castle-staff could be booked. The elevator service is without additional costs, but the number of  tours with that service is very limited and must be reconfirmed by the castle authorities. PLEASE NOTE: If you may need the lift service please inform us IMMEDIATELY after your booking! - To Hohenschwangau castle there is a carriage service (not in winter season) almost from door-to-door. You have to climb stairs up to the 3rd floor and back (no elevator).

The best day!! - We had the most amazing day! Our guide, Karl was so much fun! We were a group of 8 adults- He picked us up from our hotel for the 2 hour drive from Munich, keeping us well entertained the whole way with info as well as some car karaoke! We stopped at a breathtaking lake in Austria on our way to the suspension bridge. Karl helped us purchase the tickets and gave very clear instructions. Then we drove on for our tour of Neuschwanstein Castle. Beautiful! Again, Karl was very helpful, coordinating our tickets and planning out the visit for us. He took all the stress out of trying to figure it out on our own. On our way back to Munich we stopped to check out the alpine coaster, and with almost no wait time we jumped on and took a thrilling ride! Such a great way to end the day! If you have the chance to book a private tour with Karl, do it- you won’t be disappointed!!

Highly recommend! - Neuschwanstein and hohenschwangau castles were amazing! Stefan drove us around a beautiful lake-very relaxing. Also saw the outside of Linderhof palace (wish we would have booked the 11 hour so we could go in). Ettal Abbey finished our trip. Highly recommend!
