    We definitively do not agree with the reviews that say that the visit of this castle is not worth ! It is: it takes 45 minutes, and you're shown about 10 rooms on 3 floors. The fact that our guide was very kind and we could interact with her and that she provided for us the audio-guide as we were Italians in a German guided tour (+ another foreign couple) and we could hear both the guide and the audio-guide, has been a plus ! I'm not used to give tips: this time I was pleased to give.

    Went for an afternoon swim in the Alpsee. It was a sheer delight. Clear mountain water that enhanced our trip to Hohenschwangau.

    The Tourist Information (TI) Hohenschwangu Office is centrally located at main intersection, just across from the large carparks. Buses call in front of the TI Office as well. Opening hours are from 10am to 4.30pm daily. You can't purchase tickets to the two castles here but can obtain some basic tourism information for the area.

    Importantly, there are public toilets (€1 per person) near the front entrance. You will find a change machine which accepts notes for coins as well as €2 coins for €1s. There is also a money change window with staff who can make change for you as well. If you visit midday you may find a bit of a queue. Toilets were generally clean when we visited recently. Nothing fancy but sufficient for need.

    There is also a drinking water fountain just outside the TI. It has a figure of a minstrel playing a lute along with a crested shield at his side. You can fill up your water bottle here before heading out.

    We visited Paraworth for a flight in April 2019 for my boyfriend's birthday present. I have to say it was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. The guides were attentive and interesting and ensured that everything was working to the highest standards. We got a train to a destination nearby which took an hour from the Central Station in Munich and the guys at Paraworth were kind enough to pick us up and drive us the last 5 minutes to the site. To get to the flying site you take a cable car up a mountain (beautiful views) and do a little hike (no more than ten minutes) to the summit. The flight itself lasted half an hour which was amazing because we really got to take in the surroundings. I couldn't recommend this activity any more, it is a MUST DO if you are holidaying in Munich or the surrounding area.
