Neuschwanstein: Skip the Castle, Do the Hike Behind It
Why I didn't go inside Neuschwanstein and don't regret it - the hike behind the castle, the Marienbrücke closure problem, and why the Alpsee below is worth your afternoon.
Hiking to the Olpererhütte: The Suspension Bridge Above Schlegeisspeicher
The hike from Schlegeisspeicher up to the Olpererhütte in the Zillertal Alps - a short climb ending at the famous suspension bridge over the reservoir, and why late afternoon beats early morning.
Hiking the Partnachklamm: Bavaria's Spectacular Gorge Walk
Walking the Partnachklamm gorge near Garmisch-Partenkirchen - a path cut and tunnelled straight into the rock walls, with the river thundering below.
Saxon Switzerland: The Bastei Bridge Hike from Kurort Rathen
