Amidst Bavaria's Recent Snowfall, Some Castles and Parks Remain Closed for Visitors
Following the heavy snowfall in Bavaria, several castles and parks have been forced to close their doors to guests. According to the Bavarian Palace Administration, this affects Linderhof Palace in Ettal (Garmisch-Partenkirchen district) and Herrenchiemsee on Herreninsel in Chiemsee. However, Munich Residenz was once again open to the public on Sunday. Neuschwanstein Castle in Allgäu, though, was spared from these closures.
In Munich, Nymphenburg Palace Park has been closed due to the potential risk of snowfall. Visitors are encouraged to stay away from the wooded areas in the English Garden, at least. In Oberschleißheim near Munich, both Lustheim Palace and its park remain closed. The Old Schleißheim Palace and the New Schleißheim Palace, however, welcome visitors with open doors.
Bavaria's Winter Weather Takes a Toll on Attractions
Despite the heavy snowfall impacting various attractions, Neuschwanstein Castle in Allgäu continues to welcome visitors. Ettal's district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen was also affected, with Linderhof Palace and Herrenchiemsee on Chiemsee closing their doors. Tourists planning visits to Munich's Nymphenburg Palace Park should be cautious, as the palace administration suggests avoiding the wooded areas due to the risk of snowfall. On the contrary, the Old Schleißheim Palace and the New Schleißheim Palace in Oberschleißheim near Munich remain accessible to visitors. It is worth noting that several venues in Bavaria adhere to specific regulations during snowfall events, such as Herrenchiemsee Palace management.
You May Regret Missing Neuschwanstein Castle This Winter
Though the weather in Bavaria may pose challenges to visitors, Neuschwanstein Castle is usually unaffected by closures. Some roads and pathways might be covered in snow or ice, which could impact horse-drawn carriage rides or access to certain viewpoints[1][3]. Certain viewpoints from bridges and trails might also be closed due to weather conditions[1]. The bus service to and from the castle may be unreliable, with long queues during poor weather[3].
Travelers should always check the official websites or consult local tourist information centers before planning a visit to Neuschwanstein Castle or any other attraction in Bavaria to ensure they have the most current information regarding any closures or restrictions[1][3].
