Distances are estimates (straight line × 1.3); check real driving times in your route planner. Opening hours, guided-tour slots and ticket availability vary by season, so check each castle before you go. Your location is only used in your browser to sort the castles and is never sent to us.
How the planner works
The planner takes the castles closest to your starting point, puts them in a sensible order so you don't double back, and splits them into days at the pace you chose. If you tick Neuschwanstein, the trip always includes it, together with neighbouring Hohenschwangau.
Every stop links to our full castle guide with history, visiting tips and tickets. Browse all German castles to plan your own way.
