Best Neuschwanstein Castle Viewpoints
1. The most popular viewpoint: From Marienbrücke
Let’s start with the most famous Neuschwanstein Castle viewpoint: the Marienbrücke (also referred to as Mary’s Bridge in English). If you are looking for that iconic castle view you’ve probably seen a thousand times on postcards, this is it!
It’s a great place if you wanna photograph the castle itself, but if you want to be in the picture as well it will be quite a challenge. The bridge is quite narrow so it’s kind of impossible to have a full-body picture and on top of that it’s usually really crowded.
However, if you go early or you are patient enough you can still shoot some great portraits on the bridge.
How to get to Marienbrücke by foot (official way)
If you want to reach Marienbrücke, your first option is to go by foot – you can see the official map below that marks the hiking trails. Actually, there are more paths in reality, but if you want to follow the official way you need to find the red path.
Start following the pathway until you reach the castle. Then you need to go further up on the purple trail and at the end, you will reach the bridge with the iconic view.
Now, this is a really long way – it can take up an entire hour to get there, depending on your fitness level. But the good news is that you can make some shortcuts! You have two options for this, but none of them are marked on the map.
How to get to Marienbrücke by foot (with shortcuts)
Your first option is to start the trail behind the parking lots (which are on the left side of the Alpseestraße, see the above map). There is a concrete stairway, start following that and you will soon find yourself on the red trail (somewhere around the brown point marked on the map).
From there you need to follow the red trail, and then the purple trail as I mentioned above.
The second option is to take a shortcut right after the start of the red trail. Start following the trail and then a few minutes later you will see a path on the right side that goes into the forest with the sign Marienbrücke on it.
If you follow that path it will take you directly to the bridge and you don’t need to walk all the way to the castle and then back to the bridge. Don’t worry, the path is clearly marked and it is not in worse condition than the official one.
Keep in mind that no matter which option you choose, you have to walk on a steep uphill road to reach both the castle and the bridge. It’s not a hard hike, but it will be a workout for sure. Be prepared with some comfy shoes and lots of water!
How to get to Marienbrücke by bus
Cars and bicycles are not allowed on the road to the castle, however, you can take a shuttle bus that departs from the Hohenschwangau Palace. The bus can’t go directly to the castle so it will drop you off around the Marienbrücke (which is perfect for you if you want to head there anyway).
Prices for the shuttle: €3 for the uphill trip, €2 for the downhill trip, and €3.5 for a return trip.
How to get to Marienbrücke by horse carriage
You can also choose to go up with a horse-drawn carriage. It won’t take you up so high though, they will drop you off at the brown point marked on the map.
You still need to walk 5-10 minutes uphill from the ending point of the ride to reach the castle, and then another 10-15 minutes to the Marienbrücke. Tickets can be bought at the horse carriage driver, the uphill ride costs €8, and the downhill ride is €4.
As I don’t want to support this kind of animal tourism I would politely ask you not to use this service! Walking up there is not that bad and the views you get along the way will definitely make you up for your burning thighs.
If you can’t walk for some reason it’s still cheaper (and a lot more ethical) to take the shuttle bus. So please choose wisely!
2. Up-close viewpoint: On the way to the Marienbrücke
If you choose the long official path (or the shortcut with the stairway) it will take you right in front of the Neuschwanstein Castle.
While you can’t shoot pictures of yourself with the castle here (except selfies), you can shoot some pretty good up-close photos of the castle itself.
Just keep your eyes open and don’t forget to stop for a while to admire the remarkable details of the castle!
3. Lesser known viewpoint: After the Marienbrücke
Most people visiting Neuschwanstein Castle only hike up to Marienbrücke, take some pictures there, and then turn back. Don’t be like them! The hiking trail goes further up to the hill and if you continue your hike you can find some amazing viewpoints along the road!
The bright side is that since most people stop at the Marienbrücke, you won’t really see many people on the road. That means you don’t need to worry about photobombers and you can enjoy the views without the crowds.
The bad news is that the roads are not in the best condition. While the trails that go up to the Neuschwanstein Castle and the Marienbrücke are very well-built after you pass by the bridge you have to continue on a dirt paved road.
It can be a bit challenging (especially after rain) so make sure you have the right shoes with you and watch your steps!
After you cross the Marienbrücke you will find yourself on a long zig-zag road. Simply continue your way up and you will soon reach an amazing viewpoint surrounded by a big fence. You can see the whole area from up there together with the Neuschwanstein Castle – the view is absolutely breathtaking!
4. Panoramic viewpoint
While the previous viewpoint was really amazing, we decided to go further up the hill. The only reason we continued hiking up was that I was looking for THE BEST Neuschwanstein Castle viewpoint.
I’ve seen it all over Instagram so I knew it existed but of course, no one shared the exact location so I was committed to finding it on my own.
Let me tell you in advance: hiking further up is not the solution. A little offroading is, but more about it later! Hiking up further on the road was a little challenging but I didn’t regret it for a second. Let me show you why!
So this is the view you get from up there. It’s just simply fascinating. You can see the Neuschwanstein Castle (and the Hohenschwangau Castle as well) and the complete surrounding area with lakes, mountains, and fields.
No pictures do justice to how amazing this view is in real life. I was in awe!
You will easily recognize this spot because there is a cut-down log with a little cross on top of it. If you turn left and wander a bit down the road you will find a good photography spot where you can get some nice pictures of yourself.
The view is not so clear as there are many trees blocking the view, but I think it’s still pretty amazing.
5. The best hidden Neuschwanstein Castle viewpoint
Okay, so let’s get to the best part! I already told you that I was looking for THE BEST Neuschwanstein Castle viewpoint while hiking up from Marienbrücke.
I soon realized that it can’t be that way because the view was completely different. The castle was already too far away and that was not what I saw in the photos.
So we turned back. I was kinda disappointed because it was getting late and we were really tired from all the hiking. Plus I still didn’t have any clue where to find my spot.
I was on my phone constantly, crazily scrolling through every blog post and article I could find on Neuschwanstein Castle and staring at the Instagram pictures I saved.
Based on the photos I managed to figure out that it can’t be higher than Marienbrücke. That’s a start. Finally one of the blog posts mentioned the viewpoint, but it only said it’s somewhere off the road. All right, challenge accepted!
How to find the hidden Neuschwanstein Castle viewpoint
We started to descend on the road that goes from Marienbrücke to the Neuschwanstein Castle (the purple one on the official map). I knew I had to venture off the road somewhere but there was a wooden fence with barbed wire on top all along the road. You couldn’t really go through it unless you hurt yourself so this was not an option.
Suddenly when we went past the first big curve on the map I spotted a place where the fence was broken. Jackpot! We could slip underneath easily, turned left to the pathway, and started to follow that.
UPDATE: I’ve heard they repaired the fence recently but there is still no barbed wire so you can slip through easily.
After like 1-2 minute walk there is a curve in the pathway that goes down on the hillside. If you continue on that road you will reach a waterfall, but this is not what we are looking for.
Instead of going down the road, you have to climb up the hill! I marked the directions with the red arrows in the below pictures.
Don’t worry, the road starts badly but it gets better, I promise! Only the first small climb is challenging, after that you need to turn left and soon you will find an old pathway. I guess it was part of the official hiking trails once but it’s totally abandoned now.
The important thing is that it’s very easy to follow and it will lead you right up to the best photography spot.
Basically, you just need to follow this path and soon you will see the Neuschwanstein Castle peeking through the trees. All you need to do is go in the direction of the castle and you will reach the best hidden viewpoint in a few minutes.
What you need to know about the hidden viewpoint
And voilá, this is the spot! So gorgeous, right? It’s the perfect place for photography. The view of the Neuschwanstein Castle is completely clear and you can see the whole area in the background as well. It looks simply fascinating!
Plus there is a huge wide space where you can stand or sit on the roots. And the best thing is that you can have this spot all to yourself! It was totally worth all the trouble, am I right?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please note that basically this viewpoint is located on the edge of a cliff and there is a sheer drop right below you. As I mentioned before there is a wide area there so if you are not comfortable with heights you don’t need to stay close to the edge. Please always be careful and visit this place only at your own risk!
I loved this spot so much that I convinced my boyfriend to come back the next day for sunset. The soft colors were amazing! We also discovered that there is another way to reach this spot.
You need to walk all the way to Marienbrücke but instead of crossing the bridge, turn left and climb up on the hillside! This way is a lot harder because you need to slip through the barbed-wire fence and the way up is much steeper too.
I would still recommend you to do the other way I described first, but it’s really up to you.
6. Viewpoint from the valley
This last viewpoint is very different from the other ones because it’s in the valley!
If you are coming from the direction of Schwangau, there is a road named Schloßstraße that leads you to Hohenschwangau (where the Neuschwanstein Castle is located). There is a huge open grass field along the road where you can make some amazing photos!
During our visit, we stayed in Hotel Weinbauer in Schwangau which was located right at the beginning of Schloßstraße, close to the fields. We could even see the Neuschwanstein Castle from our window! How cool is that? We visited in the middle of May so the fields were full of dandelions, it was so gorgeous!
The Neuschwanstein Castle is visible from every angle, so you can’t go wrong with that! Although it’s very far away, you can always walk closer to the castles on the fields or use a good telephoto lens to make it bigger in the photos.
We didn’t do any of that so the castle is quite small in my photos, but I still love the outcome!

Where to Stay Around Neuschwanstein Castle
You can easily visit Neuschwanstein Castle on a day trip from either Munich or Innsbruck. Munich is a really great base to explore the nearby area so if you have to choose between the two I would definitely recommend Munich!
Although the castle can be easily reached from the two above-mentioned cities, I would still suggest staying near Neuschwanstein Castle for 1 or 2 nights. This way you can spend more time in the area which I highly recommend!

Wow loved the post ..pictures looks just amazing
Thank you so much!
Oh this looks awesome – we were there in December last year but the bridge was closed so we didn´t get the same views. Must come again 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Yeah it’s tricky to visit in winter but it can be so beautiful when everything is covered with snow! 🙂
I’ve been planning to visit this castle for so long but I don’t know why always something comes in between and I can’t go – even though I live in Slovenia which is not that far away! 🙂 A few photo spots are really creative, great ideas, thank you! 🙂
You’re so welcome! It was also on my bucket list for years so I know what you’re talking about 🙂
I reallyyyy want to visit this castle! Thanks for all the tips!
You’re welcome Ellie! 🙂
Ahh your photos are so beautiful! I went here in January few years ago and mine are completely different with all the snow. I really wish I had more time to see all these view points but I guess I will just have to return in summer one day ❤️
Aww it’s actually quite the opposite for me as I would love to return in winter! It must be so beautiful with the snow 🙂
Awesome pictures idea, it has been so long since I visited this castle that I can barely remember where we were. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!
This is such a good guide for photos. It’s definitely a place that can be tricky to figure out if you don’t plan beforehand. Such pretty photos as well.
Thank you so much! Yeah exactly, it was not easy to find the best photography spots that’s why I thought it’s worth sharing 🙂

I’am beyond happy I found this post! First off spectacular photos!

Thank you so so so much for sharing, I hope we find the spot without getting lost ?
Thank you so much Miriam! I’m so happy you liked the article! Yeah I’ve been through the same when I visited as I couldn’t find any information online where to find this iconic viewpoint. I really hope you will be able to find it! 🙂
Thank god we found your post! We visited Neuschwanstein today and the queue for the bridge was like over an hour. We thought nah, there has to be another spot to get a great view of t castle. Got my phone out and found your article about the secret spot.
So we went for it. Thanks to you photos and detailed description we found it straight away and the view was absolutely breathtaking!
A million thanks!
I’m so so happy you found the secret viewpoint! Thank you for letting me know, you just totally made my day! ☺️
We’re heading to germany tomorrow, since marienbrucke is closed at this moment i hope we will find the hidden spot. thank you very much
Fingers crossed!! Have a great trip!
How long (how far) is the hike from the bridge to the hidden view point? I have bad knees and I want to know if my knees can handle the hike. Thanks
From the bridge to the viewpoint it literally takes like 5 minutes but it’s much more harder than the other route. In this case, you have to slip through the barbed-wire and then climb up on the hillside, which is not so ideal. So I would rather recommend following the route I described in the post, it’s much more easier!
I just arrived back to my Hotel, everything was as you wrote, found the fence, it was a little damaged, and your photo helped me where to turn and climb. Actually there is a trail and stairs so that place definitely was part of a hiking route. I recommend to park and start from P4. I already was here once for a full day, so I exactly knew I should not stop and take photos earlier, because the epic shot is only available in the end. In this way I managed to climb in 20 minutes (shortcut) and come down in 15 mins. I was in a hurry, and only wanted some snowy photos, because I have 1000 pictures already from summer. Cheers. 2nd of March, 2022.
I’m so happy you managed to find the viewpoint! And thanks so much for letting me and my readers know that this way still works 🙂
Hi
Do i need to cross
Marienbrücke bridge to get to that perfect hidden spot? because i heard that bridge is closed until summer and i have booked my visit to Begining of May 🙂 So is there any alternative to get there withoit crossing the bridge? Amazing pictures 🥰 Thank you x
Hey! Luckily you don’t need to cross the bridge to find the viewpoint so hopefully you’ll be able to get there without any problems. Have a great trip!
Hi amazing pictures !!!!!
I have bookeda trip for end of May and i know the bridge is closed…..so can i still get to that amazing picture spot ? Can you remind me how abd how far it will be?
Thank you so muchi really want to get there x
Sure, I think you’ll be able to get there since you don’t need to cross the bridge for the viewpoint! If I remember correctly, it will take around 45-50 minutes to get to the viewpoint from the visitor center. Good luck!
Hi!
Great pictures!! Do you know if I need to buy the castle ticket to get to the secret viewpoint?
Thank you!!
Hey! No, you don’t need to as it’s not inside the castle 🙂
Hi, thank you so much for sharing these tips and amazing photos! I am now planning a Very Secret Romantic trip as a surprise to my husband (and therefore a little unwilling to leave my email address, hopefully it doesn’t appear anywhere). I have already booked all the flights etc. and now learned that Mariebrücke bridge is closed for renovation. Can you please tell which one(s) of your viewpoints are still reachable without crossing the bridge?
Hey! Your email address is only visible to me, don’t worry 🙂 If the bridge is closed, you can still reach #2, #5 and #6. Hope you will have an amazing time!
Hi, just wanted to say a massive thank you as I visited the secret viewpoint today(13 Jul 22). I got there just after 9am when it was quiet and snuck through the fence. They have now put three rows of barbed wire along the fence so it is difficult to get through without damaging your clothing.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for letting me know and I’m so happy you managed to find the viewpoint!
#5 is beautiful and accessible with the closure of Marienbrücke – there’s barbed wire the whole fence now, but people have made a mini-path from the panoramic viewpoint of the lake, where you just go around the fence up a small steep-ish hill, for reference. Thank you so much for this post, I got beautiful pictures!
Thanks so much for sharing this with me! I’m so glad you managed to take some amazing photos!
Just a doubt to get the 5th view point
Is this fence before the bridge or after the bridge ?
Before the bridge! You don’t have to cross it so even if it’s closed, you can still get to the viewpoint.
I am planning to take the bus and reach to bus station then from there how should I get to this view point
Is it after the bus station? So the #5view , fence is after the bus station and before the bridge right ?
You have to start walking back in the direction of the town from the bus stop to get to this viewpoint. You don’t have to cross the bridge, you have to go in the different direction.
Currently at Neuschwanstein castle and was trying to follow your directions to the best hidden vantage point, that includes the former broken fence, but your update said it was fixed but still has no barb wire. As of October 22 it currently does have barb wire, which is quite disappointing. I just wanted to share more up to date info with you! Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It looks like the condition of the fence is changing all the time.
I’m so grateful that I stumbled upon your stunning blog (amazing photos!). I decided to take your no.5 vantage point challenge to get the perfect photo. I don’t know if I went to the exact spot to jump the fence but I was eyeing out a section where the barbwire was loosen and also trying not to look suspicious as there were a lot of people walking down/up the path. I didn’t want to cause a crowd of people following me if they knew I was up to something. After climing the hill, listening to the waterfall and breaking a few branches I made it and it was exceptionally breathtaking! I was able to appreciate the view with out anyone in the way.
Thank you soo much for sharing!!
I’m so happy that you managed to find the viewpoint! The view is surely breathtaking from there 🙂
Can I still reach the hidden spot if the bridge is closed? Coz Im planning to go in winter.
Yes absolutely! You don’t need to cross the bridge for this one, although be very careful at the spot and don’t go close to the edge as it might be slippery.
I have been searching for this place for while now! I’ll be there next month and will try to find it! Thanks for the tips! When was the last time you were there?
Hey! It was actually a few years ago but I received a lot of comments after it, the most recent is from late 2022 so the viewpoint is definitely still accessible 🙂
Hi, when did you visit the castle? Is actually the road to hidden spot open?
Thank you
Hey! It was a while ago but based on the recent comments, I think the road is still open.
Amazing view thank you so much. The instruction is super clear. Yes the fence has been repaired but the barbed wire is still damaged.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Nice blog. I am planning on taking my 5 and 9 yo kids to the castle. I am wondering if the hike to that beautiful viewpoint is doable for kids. P.S. I like seeing your travel pictures in your instragam account.
Hi Demi, yeah I think it’s entirely doable, it’s not a hard hike at all. Hope you’ll have the best time!
Hi! Thanks for all the tips! For #5, how long did it take you to walk to the viewpoint from the point you climbed the fence?
No more than 10-15 minutes, it’s not a long path luckily.
Hi Kriszti, just wondering, are you comfortable giving instructions in your blog about how to slip through a safety fence when two girls had fallen off the cliff recently and one of them died?
The two girls were assaulted and pushed down the cliff by a man they had just met and yet willingly followed. I’m really sorry about what happened to them but it could have literally happened anywhere else in the world, it had little to do with the location. I also point out in the article that this is an unofficial trail and everyone needs to be mindful of the location and take necessary precautions.
Thanks for the guide, it was super helpful! There is barbed wire on the fence now, just a heads up
Thanks for the update!
