Weg

The hike starts from the Hohenschwangau parking lot. After a short distance you will see Neuschwanstein Castle (tickets for a tour must be purchased in advance in the valley at the ticket center or in the online ticket store). Continue on Schlossstraße into town and 10-minute climb to Hohenschwangau Castle. Then follow the signs to Schwansee. At Schwansee, continue on Königsstraße in the direction of Füssen. After a few hairpin bends, you come to the Kalvarienberg branch, which you should definitely climb, because from here a 360-degree panorama opens up on the three castles (Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau, Hohes Schloss, Füssen), the imposing mountain scenery and the Allgäu foothills of the Alps with its numerous lakes. The descent is via the Kreuzweg to Füssen, where the beautiful old town and the High Castle (gallery) invite you to visit. After crossing the old town, keep to the right at Kaiser-Maximilian-Platz out of town in the direction of Lech/Schwangau-Horn. After about 10 minutes you cross the Lech and walk on the footpath back to Hohenschwangau.
