The magic of Neuschwanstein Castle: A picturesque hike through the Allgäu

The Allgäu, known for its breathtaking landscapes, offers many sights. One of the most impressive is undoubtedly Neuschwanstein Castle. This castle, which seems to come straight from a storybook, attracts thousands of visitors every year.

A walk at the Alpsee

The Alpsee, located not far from Hohenschwangau Castle, is one of the coldest bathing lakes in Germany. Despite its cool temperatures, it gives a feeling of summer. The waves rolling onto the shore are somewhat reminiscent of the coast, even though there is no salty sea water nearby.

The path to the Pöllatschlucht

A planned climb through the Pöllat Gorge to the castle had to be changed because the hiking trail through the gorge was closed. The path through the gorge constantly follows the rock and offers a constant view of the wild water. But the alternative route up also offers impressive views.

The fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle

The castle, which stands amidst autumnal trees and surrounded by impressive rock walls, almost looks like a film set. It was built in the 19th century by King Ludwig II and is now one of the main tourist attractions.

The Marienbrücke: A viewing point like no other

The Marienbrücke offers one of the best views of the castle. From here you can also observe the washed-out pools of the Pöllat Gorge and the castle in the distance. It is an ideal place for photography enthusiasts.

Hike to the Tegelbergkopf

The hiking trail to the Tegelbergkopf leads through an autumnal forest and offers breathtaking views of the Allgäu Alps, Hohenschwangau Castle and various mountain lakes. The higher you hike, the fewer people you meet on the path.

A final look at Forggensee

The day ends with a visit to Lake Forggensee at sunset. The quiet atmosphere and picturesque views offer a perfect end to an eventful day.

The Allgäu and especially the area around Neuschwanstein Castle offer unforgettable experiences. The combination of history, architecture and nature makes this place a must for every travel lover.
