Germany - Fussen

Took a 2 hours train from Munich to Fussen in the morning for a day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle. Fussen is a town in Southern Germany that is only 5km from the Germany/Austria border. Upon reaching Fussen, we took a bus that brought us to the foot of the mountain where the Castle is situated.

We took another bus there to go up to the top of the mountain. From there, we were able to find the the hanging bridge which gave us a perfect view of the castle covered with mist.


We then made our way into the castle with the audio guide tour, which turned out to be pretty disappointing. The descend down to the foot of the mountain was special as we paid to ride a horse carriage. There is actually another castle there called the Hohenschwangau Castle which is also very beautiful but it's completely overwhelmed by Neuschwanstein Castle so not many people visitors, a bit poor thing.


When we were back at Fussen, there was almost 2 hours to the next train to Munich, so we explored the cozy town of Fussen, which was not bad either.
