Fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle by Plane — See the famous fairytale castle that inspired Walt Disney and enjoy a flight over the surrounding countryside. Board your plane and take the short flight to Reutte, where you will meet your guide and transfer to Neuschwanstein. Built by Ludwig II of Bavaria, the planned three-year build could never be completed to Ludwig’s satisfaction given the grand architectural features he commissioned. A supporter of Richard Wagner, the world-renowned composer, he insisted that the castle’s name and design reference one of Wagner’s characters—the Swan Knight. Stroll through the beautiful inner garden, surrounded by a walled courtyard, and the majestic interior decor of the castle’s rooms. After time to explore, embark on a carriage ride through the beautiful Hohenschwangau valley and have lunch at a local restaurant. Enjoy free time at leisure before returning to the airport for your return flight to Vilshoven and transferring back to your ship in Passau.
