It takes only some minutes, until your guide gets the tickets (NEUSCHWANSTEIN INCLUDED) and a very detailed map for you.Whether you want to walk up to the castles, take the shuttle-bus (not during snow and ice) or the horse-drawn carriage you can be accompanied by your guide (Horse-drawn carriage in winter only to Neuschwanstein Castle).The guided tour in Neuschwanstein castle castle takes approx. 35 min, after that you'll walk for another 15 min through many more rooms by yourself.

Schloss Linderhof
LINDERHOF palace was built by King Ludwig II. in the idyllic Graswang Valley in the middle of the Ammergau Alps. Following the French model, it was the only one of the three "fairy tale castles" to be completed.

Ettal Abbey
If you want to see (and understand) another baroque masterpiece concerning church decorations, inserted in a 12-page domed room from the 14th century, you should follow your guide in the Ettal Benedictine monastery near a little passo, just a 5 minutes’ drive away from Oberammergau.
20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Pilgrimage Church of Wies
On the way to or from the castles it would be a pity to pass one of the overwhelming baroque churches.
Your guide will provide you with all the worth knowing information, for example about the very popular Wies-Church, or – what we not recommend less – one of the other nearby churches, which are still "secret tips", quiet and peaceful far away from the tourist masses.
