About this experience
Enjoy an exclusive excursion - without other participants - to the plateau of the Zugspitze (2,962 metres), as well on the traces of King Ludwig II of Bavaria - to his fairy tale Neuschwanstein castle.
As soon as we have arrived at the fairy tale Neuschwanstein Castle - we will have plenty of great photo opportunities, be it the castle itself, the old Marienbrücke (Mary's Bridge), or the spectacular surrounding mountain area.
Strengthened from a sufficient local lunch, we can now look forward to the impressive Zugspitze.
As soon as we have arrived at the beautiful Eibsee, one of the most beautiful lakes in Bavaria, the new Zugspitz cable car (opened 2017) will take us very close to the highest peak in Germany. During your stay on the plateau you will learn interesting information about the region.
