Neuschwanstein Castle
Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most famous attractions in Germany – and rightly so. Situated high on a rock near Schwangau, the fairy tale castle of the "Kini" dominates an incredible landscape. For convertible drivers, the highlight is not just the castle itself but especially the journey there: winding, scenic, and full of moments of enjoyment.
With the Convertible to Fairy Tale Land – The Approach to Neuschwanstein
The drive to Schwangau takes you through the beautiful Allgäu foothills. Whether arriving from Füssen, Oberammergau, or via the German Alpine Road – here, curves, meadows, forests, and panoramic views line the route. Particularly enchanting is the stretch along Lake Forggensee, which offers clear views of the mountains and the castle.
The roads are mostly well developed but pleasantly quiet. Those who wish can stop at one of the numerous lakes along the way, such as Bannwaldsee or Hopfensee, and take a small break there.
Neuschwanstein Castle – A Place Straight Out of a Storybook
Once you arrive, the view of Neuschwanstein Castle looks like something out of a dream. King Ludwig II had it built in the 19th century – as a homage to the world of legends and fairy tales. The ascent to the castle is possible either on foot or by horse-drawn carriage, and the view from the Marienbrücke is one of the most spectacular photo spots in the region.
In addition to Neuschwanstein, a visit to the nearby Hohenschwangau Castle or the Museum of Bavarian Kings is also worthwhile. Schwangau and Füssen offer many quaint local establishments, cozy cafés, and opportunities for strolling – ideal for a delightful break after the drive.
Neuschwanstein – The Perfect Destination for an Enchanting Convertible Tour
Neuschwanstein Castle is not only a cultural highlight but also a rewarding destination for an extensive convertible tour in Bavaria. The combination of fairy-tale architecture, alpine landscape, and relaxed country roads makes the region around Schwangau a paradise for those who wish to connect driving pleasure with beautiful experiences. Neuschwanstein Castle is located on the German Alpine Road, along the route through the Allgäu and on the Beer and Castle Road.
