A chill alpine wind meets the road as your private vehicle threads the Bavarian foothills toward Neuschwanstein, windows framing steep firs and pale limestone ridges. You disembark beneath a bluff where an iconic white castle perches above the valley—tours inside move with purpose while outside trails and a viewpoint demand time and boots.
