Roadbook
From the parking lot in Hohenschwangau, hike along Neuschwanstein street towards Neuschwanstein Castle and after a short ascent turn right onto the path Rodelbahn/Youth. Once you reach "Youth", it's worth taking a short detour to a viewpoint. Just follow Bleckenau street for about 100 m; on the left side you will have a wonderful view of Marienbrücke with Neuschwanstein Castle in the background. Please note the regular bus traffic on the narrow street. Then go up the Water pipeline trail/Brunnstubenweg into the Bleckenau valley and follow the signs for Hunter's hut, which can be reached from the mountain inn Bleckenau in about 1 hour. Now is the time for a well-deserved longer break. At the Hunter's hut, you can unpack your snack to refuel and enjoy the view in the small valley. Return is via the forest trail to the mountain inn Bleckenau and then down Bleckenau street into the valley to the starting point. Or alternatively take the bus from the mountain inn Bleckenau.
