For the most breathtaking, postcard-perfect view of Neuschwanstein Castle, you have to take a walk up to the Marienbrücke. This historic footbridge hangs dramatically over the Pöllat Gorge, offering a stunning panorama of the fairytale castle and the surrounding Bavarian Alps. To get here, you can enjoy a scenic 30-40 minute uphill walk through the forest from the village below, or take a shuttle bus which drops you about a 5-minute walk from the bridge itself. The view is absolutely worth the effort, giving you a perspective you simply can't get from anywhere else.
