The carriage ride up costs 6 euros one way. Since it was snowy, I chose to hike up and take the carriage down. The castle is relatively small, so the visit is quick. Visited in late November, already had a strong Christmas vibe🎄 This trip was a group tour, so no need to plan hotels or transportation You can find the full videos of the Germany-Switzerland trip and the football match on the homepage by searching “tri-border” and “football match”
