Beautiful hike over the Tegelberg to the Branderschrofen with a descent via the tourist castle. :)

In fairly good weather, the climb was steep at first, so we did work up a bit of a sweat. Despite the holiday and the good weather, the crowds of people were still limited, as were the few remaining snow. Since we were at …

May 26, 2023,Schloss Neuschwanstein 🏰, Branderschrofen ⛰️, Rohrkopfhütte 😋

Since the Pöllat Gorge apparently never opens again 🙈 ... we walked past Neuschwanstein Castle 🏰 and of course took a lot of photos 😂
It's nice... 🥰
We stood in the traffic jam in front of the Marienbrücke (from how many people it probably collapses... 😆) and then we were happy that hardly anyone went even a step further …

May 21, 2023,🤩⛰️🏰 Neuschwanstein über Marienbrücke zum Brandnerschrofen 🏰⛰️😍

Wonderful tour 🤩😍 from 🏰 Neuschwanstein over the great Marienbrücke with brilliant viewpoints to the Brandnerschrofen ⛰️ (the last piece requires sure-footedness and a head for heights) with an extensive summit rest.

Then back via the Rohrkopfhütte with a stop 🍻🍰☕️ back to the parking lot.

When I saw a photo of Neuschwanstein Castle last week, I remembered the wonderful tour Micha took with Valentina at the beginning of October:

Today my daughter took the time for a wonderful mountain hike together😊. We started from the Tegelbergbahn car park (daily fee €5). Blue skies and lots of sunshine accompanied us. After the Marienbrücke, it became quiet on the path to the Tegelberg. The views into the valley and the many lakes around Füssen are wonderful. On the way down, we …
