Just outside town, the picturesque old royal district of Hohenschwangau is framed with mountains, forests and lakes. Here, Hohenschwangau Castle can be found, the boyhood home of the future King Ludwig II. Above it, soaring to the sky from its lofty seat in the mountains, his great creation: Neuschwanstein Castle. Neuschwanstein is the most iconic sight in Bavaria and Germany. Germany’s number one visitor attraction – “mad” king Ludwig II’s fairy tale castle among the clouds. Ludwig, the most famous of the Bavarian kings, dotted the Bavarian countryside with spectacular royal building projects such as Linderhof Palace. But none outshine Neuschwanstein Castle. From the outside, Neuschwanstein looks like an impossible vision. All around are spectacular views of the Bavarian Alps, forests, lakes, the town of Füssen in the distance, and a stunning aerial view of Hohenschwangau Castle. Visit the castle interior and marvel at the sumptuously decorated rooms dedicted to the artistic glorification of medieval German Romance and the operas of Richard Wagner, such as in the elaborate and imposing Throne Hall, and you feel you have wandered into a movie. Neuschwanstein Castle is the absolute ‘must-see’ experience for any visitor to Bavaria.

After breakfast, walk to the nearby meeting point for your group tour. It’s just a short distance from your hotel. The meeting point is at Karlsplatz 21, 80335, Munich Start time: 08:30 Duration: 10h Live guide: English, German Included 10-hour roundtrip from Munich to Berchtesgadener Land in an air-conditioned bus Live commentary on the bus in English and German Not included Special bus & elevator bringing you to the Eagle's Nest (€33 for Adult & Youth, 18€ Child) Admission fee at the Obersalzberg Documentation Center Meals Description It's hard to imagine the peaceful Alpine beauty of Bavaria's mountaintops could ever be the scene for evil to be hatched, but this bright unspoiled wilderness has a sinister past. Turn the clocks back to 1930s Germany, and discover the place where Europe's darkest hour was planned. Visit the NS-Documentation Center and get a harrowing reminder of the crimes against humanity that were concocted by Hitler and the Nazi party. It's almost impossible to fathom how Europe's post-war scars can be traced to such a place of tranquil beauty. But this was the place where Hitler and members of the Nazi High Command met in secret to discuss plans for the Third Reich's domination of Europe and the world. See the famous Eagle's Nest perched precariously on top of Obersalzberg. The remoteness of the location meant it was a safe venue for Hitler's inner circle to meet. But his fear of heights meant that he actually hated the place - leave it to Hitler to hate anything beautiful. The building is now a restaurant and visitor center.
