Germany The hidden Neuschwanstein spot
The subject, Neuschwanstein castle, is very famous and most of the photos are taken from the marienbrücke.
My photo is taken from a spot, very near the marienbrücke, but gives a little different angle. Also with sunrise, you better see the sun come over the mountains than from the marienbrücke.
The spot is illegal but is not a problem when you come very early to catch the sunrise.
About 20 meters before reaching the bridge, you see on your left a fence with a sign “forbidden”.
When you go over this little fence and climb for 50 meters, you will reach the spot...
BE CAREFUL. THERE IS A DEEP ABYSS IN FRONT OF THIS SPOT AND IT CAN BE SLIPPERY!!!
In the photos below you see them on the right of the bridge and the left of the fence with the sign.

Photography Tips
Go for a sunrise to catch the best light and you will also be there before the big numbers of crowds.
