We then got ready to really begin a trip exploring the castles, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, in Germany. Fortunately, the shuttle bus was only a five-minute walk from our hotel.
After arriving at the ticket center, we then proceeded to take our next shutlle bus up the mountain to the Neuschwanstein Castle, http://www.neuschwanstein.de/englisch/palace/. Our first stop on our way was Marienbrücke (Mary's Bridge), https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marienbr%C3%BCcke_(Neuschwanstein), which is a pedestrian bridge built over a cliff in 1845 which spans the Pöllat Gorge. It was from this bridge that King Ludwig II admired his dream Neuschwanstein Castle.
After admiring the view of the Neuschwanstein castle from Marienbrücke (Mary's Bridge), we then made our way to the castle.
During the tour, we learned the history of King Ludwig, and the castle. Our tour guide, Tomi, also informed us that it was 63 steps to the top of the castle. Unfortunately, there were no elevators, so plan to do a lot of walking on the tour.
