Woke up to snow in the morning! Snow in Spring! And the temperature forecast is at a -4 deg up in the mountains. It’s going to be a cold cold day! Was re-thinking our plans to go up to the Neuschwanstein Castle for the day, but in the end, we decided to go ahead, and I’m really glad we did!
Took the 9:52 train from Munich (using the Bayern Ticket) and reached Fussen at 11:55am. Took a short bus ride (bus 73) and reached the tickets collection center. Glad that we made the ticket reservation and was able to join the shorter queue and got our tickets in less than 10 mins. The queue for the non-reserved tickets was long!
Unfortunately for us, the bus service was not operational. We opted for the horse carriage ride, but after waiting for 30mins, and the Queue doesn’t seems to be moving, we decided to walk up. Our tour time was at 1:35pm, and it was already 12:15! Walked up the beautiful slopes and it started snowing again! It’s super cold, but yet, the scenery was really beautiful, trees and ground covered in the white snow, making it so magical – a magical walk up to the castle.
After around 40mins, we finally reached the entrance of the castle! It’s beautiful, really as magical as it can be, covered in snow and sunlight! Glad that we made the trip and made it for the tour. Not able to take any photos inside the castle, but it was beautiful. After the tour, made our way back down and got nice delicious and hot donuts on the way down to the horse stable. This time, we waited for the horse carriage and took the carriage ride down.
Made our way back to the station, and took the train back to Munich. It was really a magical day out. Snow in Spring! Loved it.
