A Mercedes minivan hums out of Munich before dawn, the autobahn shrinking behind you as the Bavarian countryside thickens into firs and open meadows. By midmorning the silhouette of Neuschwanstein perches above a spruce-lined valley — white towers catching light like a stage set. Your driver-guide times stops so you arrive when light is clean and crowds are thin.

Although bottled water and snacks are provided in the vehicle, bring a refillable bottle for on‑trail hydration during stops.
