Marienbrücke Trail: The Perfect Hike for Iconic Views of Neuschwanstein and Alpsee

#hikingtrails The Marienbrücke Trail is a must-do hike for anyone visiting Neuschwanstein Castle. Located in the Bavarian Alps, this short but scenic walk takes you to Marienbrücke, a bridge offering unmatched views of the famous fairy-tale castle and the serene Alpsee lake below. Starting in the village of Hohenschwangau, you’ll walk uphill through the forest to reach Neuschwanstein Castle. It’s about a 30 to 40-minute climb, but the journey is worth it. Once at the castle, follow signs leading to Marienbrücke, which is another 10-15 minute walk. The trail is well-marked, and the view from the bridge is breathtaking. With the castle perched on a cliff and surrounded by mountains, it feels like stepping into a dream. From Marienbrücke, you can take in the beauty of the castle, the distant Hohenschwangau Castle, and the crystal-clear waters of Alpsee, which change color depending on the season. This viewpoint is especially popular in autumn when the trees turn golden. Whether you're a photographer or a casual hiker, the Marienbrücke Trail is one of the best ways to experience the magic of Bavaria #germany
