The coach pulls away from Munich before sunrise and, by midmorning, the Bavarian plateau opens like a storybook—rock-banded ridges, a steely river voice daring you toward the castles. Neuschwanstein watches above Hohenschwangau, white towers cut against alpine pines; Linderhof sits lower, its formal gardens framing an ornate pavilion and ornamental grottos.
