    Safety information

    Surefootedness should be present for the ascent from the saddle to the summit. The descent from the saddle to the Nature Friends' House is partially steeper but secured with chains or wire ropes at critical points.

    Roadbook

    From Hohenschwangau on beautiful hiking paths, always ascending through the light forest to the saddle, which is slightly above the tree line and offers a wonderful panoramic view. From there, a narrow path leads to the summit. From the summit, first return on the same path to the saddle and then turn left to the Nature Friends' House. From now on, the way goes only downhill on gravel forest roads or good paths.

     

    Public transport

    By train to Füssen, then by bus to the castles.

    Directions

    A 7 to Füssen / Neuschwanstein. We parked a second car in Pflach.

    Parking

    Paid parking spaces at Hohenschwangau Castle and free parking for hikers north of Pflach.
