NEUSCHWANSTEIN’S DISNEY CASTLE

Germany 2023 - Part 3
In this vlog we reach the start / end of the Romantic Road in Germany. The fairytale castle at Neuschwanstein is world famous and has been an inspiration to many. But was it everything we expected?
Riki had high hopes - literally - of the famous suspension bridge which boasts the best views of the castle and valley below.
We also found another tourist hot spot just a couple of kilometres away that took us to new heights as a couple!
Filmed in April, we had the best of both worlds weather wise. The sunshine showed off the blues and aquas of the reservoirs and rivers and the snow capped mountains created a proper fairytail feel as a back drop to the castle.
We hope you enjoy exploring with us Germany's most visited castle and more.

Absolutely stunning we are definitely going to do this

[@TheHillsExplore]

It’s well worth it 😊

[@PaulDevall]

Unbelievable! 😊

[@RobertSmith-cv1cu]

Gosh. What a view.

[@TheHillsExplore]

It was breathtaking 😊

[@TheSlawsAdventures]

What a shame the brücke was closed 😢 The views from there are beautiful. But, WOW! you made up for it on the cable car. Loving your trip 🚍☀️

[@TheHillsExplore]

Yes we were gutted 😞 but the cable car was a very nice surprise 😍 Thank you xx

[@PostcardAndAPint]

We love it there. Both castles to be honest. It’s a shame the bridge was closed as that view is amazing. Oo we’ve never done the cable car, that looks stunning. Views are amazing! Snow at the top too! We loved this! Off to check out your fussen video now as we love it there too! Cheers 🍻

[@TheHillsExplore]

Thank you for your comment. Yes we were gutted to miss the bridge view but the cable car gave us some other spectacular views as compensation 😄

[@redsgotravels]

We’ve explored lots in that area, but never Fussen. Great excuse for us to go back looks gorgeous and like a fairytale

[@TheHillsExplore]

Hey guys. Thanks for your comment, I binged on your European trip last weekend as we were away in the van and the great British weather did it’s usual. Loving it and just watched you at that amazing monument in Bulgaria. Keep safe and happy travels 😆

[@wheelersinthewild]

Wow what a gorgeous place 😍, must put this on our list of places to go, the landscape, weather and cable car reminded us of our visit to Canada in Feb. That traversing down the mountain path 😂 I’d probably do the same to be fair, going downhill does take it out of your knees! xx

[@TheHillsExplore]

It’s a very practical way of not falling over for me! 😂 Yes the landscape was beautiful and the snow plus sunshine was definitely the best of both xx

[@wanderinwilds]

Wow 🤩 guys, the views were stunning 😍 !!! Well worth the walk ❤ loved this video loved the bants and Riki I need to know what flavour those Jaffa cake biscuits were ? I recon it was almond 😃😘 great idea with the mugs 🤩 miss you both 🥰 xxx

[@TheHillsExplore]

Missing you already 😔 It was a lovely day and the weather was spot on! ☀️ I don’t think the biscuits lasted long enough for him to even taste them 🤪 xxx

[@wanderinwilds]

@@TheHillsExplore 😥 it did make me giggle the whole way through especially you zig zagging on the walk 🤪 well they looked really good 😋 xxx

[@TheHillsExplore]

@@wanderinwilds hey!! That tacking saves my knees!! 🤣🤣🤣😝 xx

[@sallyhumphreys2714]

We missed the last cable car and had to track……. Boy oh boy! What a long way down and took a good few hours.

[@TheHillsExplore]

No way!!! I bet that was a moment of sheer panic when you realised!!

[@sallyhumphreys2714]

You did not go in ?! It is beautiful inside. Both are.

[@TheHillsExplore]

We didn’t. We are always on a tight timeline and opted to use the rest of the afternoon to take the cable car up the mountain instead! Darn annual leave just isn’t enough for all the adventures we’d like to have

[@garysavage5675]

So you didn’t do the zugspitze if your in Lindau next

[@TheHillsExplore]

I had to research Zugspitze! No we didn’t make it there. We will have to put on the list for another tome as it looks stunning

[@RobertSmith-cv1cu]

The rocks are for high winds.

[@TheHillsExplore]

Ah! Thank you. That makes sense 😊

[@alandciskasmohotravels]
