'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: Once that you have arrived in Schwangau, AND have bought your ticket to see one or both of the famous castles you will find a bus taking you up to Marienbrücke, for a first great view on the castle of Neuschwanstein.
You simply should be aware, that the bus is not going directely to the castle of Neuschwanstein, BUT instead it takes you to a place, high ABOVE the castle, close to the bridge (Marienbrücke). There you may take a great picture of the castle.
From Marienbruecke there is a really STEEP path going down to the castle, and you might regret, that you did not walk directely from Hohenschwangau to the castle.
The fares of the bus were in 2006 :
1,80 €uro for uphill, 1 euros for down-hill
2,60 €uro for the return-ticket.
(And going BACK by bus would mean that you first walk up the steep path again, instead of walking down smoothly within 20 minutes !)

'Mode': TO
Category: Other
Getting TO/AROUND: Take the horse-carriage to Hohenschwagau-castle , when you have time enough and want to save your powers for the rest of the day. Walking uphill will be even a bit faster, but it might take your breath away, when you have to rush uphill in order to catch your tour. Walking-time uphill over the small path to the castle will be around 10-15 minutes, the horse-carriages will take another way and might need a bit longer and of course they would always try to fill up the carriage, before they start, while you could run uphill right away, after you have bought your ticket.
The prices for the horse-carriages to Hohenschwangau :
3,50 Euros uphill and 1,50 euros downhill
Horse carriages to Neuschwanstein Castle
are 5.00 euros uphill and 2,50 euros downhill
pay directely at the carriage !
online-reservation of carriages is NOT possible !!

Number one man - congratulations! Very useful tips (I've saved quite a few for my upcoming trip). I think you'll find fassade is actually spelt facade. Cheers. |
