The Romantic Road is Germany’s most renowned holiday route

Taking the coach is a particularly intensive way to discover the region between the River Main and the Alps. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty or Snow White – even today, fairy tales are a source of fascination for both young and old. So it’s hardly surprising that, according to a poll conducted by the German National Tourist Board (DZT), the fairy-tale castle of Neuschwanstein is the leading attraction in Germany. Originally built as a haven for King Ludwig II, it attracts around 1.3 million visitors from all over the world every year and thus ranks among the continent’s most popular castles. The king himself only lived there for a few months and died before it was completed. Nevertheless, the appearance and furnishings of the castle reflect the king’s ideas – he wanted it to resemble a medieval knight’s castle.

The road as the destination

Besides its enchanting countenance and splendid interior, the former haven of the Bavarian king is also distinguished by a breath-taking location at the southern end of the Romantic Road, which itself holds tenth place among Germany’s top 100 tourist destinations. So why not combine a visit to the fairy-tale castle with a trip along the country’s most popular tourist route? A convenient and comfortable way to make the road the destination is to take one of the long-distance coaches operating along the Romantic Road. The first stop is Würzburg in Lower Franconia where, the Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, represents an impressive start to the journey. And there are numerous worthwhile stops along the 460-kilometer route as it winds its way southwards, e.g., the medieval town of Dinkelsbühl or the rococo Pilgrimage Church at Steingaden. Travelling by coach offers not only the advantage of being able to see world-famous monuments in a relaxed way but also makes it possible to take in the picturesque landscapes between the various towns and villages. The audio-guides available on the coaches include the most important information about the sights and the region in seven languages. And, on weekends from April to October, knowledgeable guides are on hand to answer questions and provide interesting and entertaining background information. Or did you already know that King Ludwig II wanted to use Neuschwanstein Castle as a habitable operatic backdrop?
