My trips -- 03-01, 12-03, 11-04:
I've driven through Füssen
more times than I can count on my way from Germany to
Austria, or
vice versa. However, I have been there specifically to visit
Neuschwanstein (and Hohenschwangau)
three times.
First of all, although Hohenschwangau is usually an afterthought for
visitors to the region, it is a beautiful castle in its own right.
While it may not hold a candle up to Neuschwanstein (few castles
do), it is certainly worth a visit. Best of all, you can
buy a ticket for both castles
at the same time from the ticket booth in town.
I've visited Neuschwanstein once in the spring, once in the winter,
and once in the fall. I will say that each trip was unique and
I didn't mind coming back at all. Of course each time I was
with a different group of people (I was playing tourist with
visitors),
but in case you can't tell from the website, I simply enjoy
traveling around and I enjoyed each of my visits to these castles.
