Laalaa

We are taking a tour of Europe in June. As part of the tour we will see the
Neuschwanstein Castle but not tour the Castle. My family and I wish to tour
the castle and would like to leave our tour in Fussen and take a scheduled
tour. Then, from Fussen, get transportation to Innsbruck (bus or train).
There we will meet back up with our tour and spend the night in Innsbruck.
Could you please provide any information as to how we would best accomplish
this?
I did not see any directions or transportation to Innsbruck on you webpage:
www.fuessen.de/access.
THANKS!

Train travel is not very direct; 4:15 via Munich.

I don't know about Innsbruck, but when I was in Fussen with my daughter
and two grandchildren, we took a bus to Oberammergau even though we
ended up not using one of the days on our rail passes because it took
much less than half the time; the train would have taken us all the way
up to Munich.

I think this is generally true in this area. We stayed in Mittenwald, and
visited Linderhof, Neuschwanstein, the Weiskirche, Ettal Monastary,
Oberammergau and Garmish-Partekirchen (spelling?) and rented a car because
the train just would not work.

There's a busline that runs from Oberammergau to the Linderhof, Ludwig II's
real gem of a palace in the area, one that surpasses Neuschwanstein in many
respects, except for its familiarity among tourists. Ludwig finished
Linderhof before he ran out of money, unlike his other constructions, some
of which remain partially unfinished to this day after he nearly exhausted
his personal, family, and state fortunes, only prevented by his timely
and...uh....accidental drowning, it seems.

Wieskirche, near Steingaden, is also a worthwhile stop for those traveling
in the area.

Where are you spending the night before? If you really want to do
this & the city is not too far (Munich?), I would rent a car / drive
to Füssen very early to get in line / do the tour / drive to Innsbruck
/ drop off car.

I second this. On our trip in 2001 we visited Linderhof, as many of us
had already been to Neuschwanstein, and loved it. Walked all over the grounds,
and loved touring it. We also visited Neuschwanstein, but did not tour, we
just walked up, saw the view and the outside, which is the best. But if I
were doing it again, I'd go to Linderhof and not worry about Fussen.

Although Hohenschwangau is great.

Very much so. If you are driving, you also pass Ettal Monastary (*and can
get some of their beer.)

You can catch a bus direct from the train station (same place you get the bus
to neuschwanstein) to Innsbruck in fussen. I did this a couple of years ago. It
travels through beautiful countryside and drops you right at the train station
in Innsbruck.
I was in Innsbruck last summer and they were building a new station. has
anyone here used that station?
thanks

That's how we got to Linderhof, too. I managed to stay at the bottom of
the hill and send my students up to tour Neuschwanstein with other
leaders in the group the last SEVERAL times I traveled with students,
but I always went with them through Linderhof, which I always saw as a
fun palace: "this is the king's summer cottage"...

Indeed, there is a bus service Füssen 9:35 to Weilheim 11:06 with
connecting train to Innsbuck at 11:16, arrival 13:25 (very nice
landscape).

Or daily bus 12:35 to Oberau 14:39, have lunch until 15:49, arrive
Innsbruck 17:25.

Meanwhile I found

http://www.alpenbus-ig.com/img/map_d.gif Should be line 231.
http://www.alpenbus-ig.com/

There are frequent services to the train station of Reutte.
http://www.vvt.at/pdf/plaene2003/b71.pdf

Didn't find the direct bus yet. [email protected] and
[email protected] should be able to help.

There is an excellent day-trip tour in June and July, departing from Munich,
that visits Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, and Wieskirche, including tours
inside all of them. It is run by Euraide, the fabulous english-language
tourist assistance office in the Munich Hbf. station (and Berlin Zool.).
The tour efficiently combines rail and private coach. Because the coach is
only used in the immediate area of Fussen/Oberammergau, you can easily stay
in the area after the tour is over to enjoy the villages and then return to
Munich by rail at your leisure if you choose.

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...e/day_ex25.htm

There is also a coach tour run by Autobus Oberbayern listed on that webpage
as running from April-October, but it doesn't offer the benefits of the one
by Euraide and doesn't visit Wieskirche. I've not taken this tour so I
won't personally recommend it.

Euraide was also helpful in arranging guided tours for daytrips to Dachau
and the Herrenchiemsee Palace (beautiful lake and islands.) Herrenchiemsee
Palace was Ludwig II's version of Versailles. One wing of the palace
contains the Ludwig II Museum, which I found to be quite interesting to
reveal much of the motivation behind his idyllic fantasies and
constructions.
