Wegbeschreibung

Weg

The hike begins from Hohenschwangau car park 3 with an adventurous ascent through "Pöllatschlucht" (a wild gorge). At the top, a detour to the "Marienbrücke" (Bridge) is well worthwhile with the magnificent view of Neuschwanstein Castle. After a short distance downhill to the valley is the Ticket Center, castle tour must be purchased in advance here. Continue a 10 min climb towards Hohenschwangau Castle, follow the signs to Schwansee. At Schwansee, follow the Kônigsstrasse in the direction of Füssen. After a few hairpin bends, you will reach Kalvarienberg which is essential to visit, because from here you will have a 360 degree panoramic view of the 3 Castles, Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau and Hohes Schloss, Füssen, the impressive mountain scenery and the Allgaüer Voralpenland with its numerous lakes. The descent is via the Way of the Cross to Füssen, where the beautiful medieval town and the Hohes Schloss (gallery) invites you to visit. After passing through the old town, keep right at the Kaiser-Maximilian-Platz and head out of town towards Lech/Schwangau-Horn. After about 10 mins, you will cross the Lech and walk back on the footpath to Hohenschwangau.
