If you're headed to Schloss Neuschwanstein, you'll stop first in the town of Schwangu, and before…read moreyou do any hiking up to the castle - you'll see Lake Alpsee! And it's worth visiting Schwangu and the lake in their own right, if you want to stay near Neuschwanstein and see a little/a lot of cool nature. Alpsee is nestled in the foothills of the Alps, so your view will be breathtaking as you stand on the shoreline of the lake, looking at the behemoth mountains! The water is crystal clear, so you can see the rocks and shoal right through the surface. It's heralded as one of the cleanest lakes in Germany. There are swans and other fowl that like to lay claim to Alpsee and they also make for great photos as they glide across the pristine water. There are boats available for rent, great swimming spots in the lake, and hiking trails all around Alpsee. So it's not just Insta-worthy here, there's also a ton to do and see. So definitely don't skip over Alpsee on your Bavarian adventure!

Want a thrill? How about a 120k/h ride down THE Olympic bobsled track...it is unreal!…read more Just outside Iglis (a few minutes from Innsbruck) is the 1964 and 1976 Olympic bobsled run. You can ride with a professional driver and rear-seater + 2 guests on each bobsled. My daughter and I took the plunge and will never forget the thrill of hitting the banked curves at such high speeds. By the latter part of the track you can hardly see as you hit turn after turn...how can the driver possibly navigate the twists and turns so well? As the bumper stick so aptly says...Get In, Hold On, Shut Up! There are 2 versions you can do: (1) the Guest Bobsled or the (2) Taxibobsled. The "Guest" starts lower and goes slower and (2) the "Taxi" starts higher at the real Olympic starting line. You can make reservations way in advance. We did not. We just showed up (maybe lucky) and paid our 90 euro each and received our numbers and were told to show back up at the track in 30 minutes. While you wait there is a very nice restaurant right there serving great food and beverages. Try a nice Radler on tap while you wait!! A crowd of 30 of us from all over the world were waiting and they marched us up a road and put us in the back of what felt like at WWII troup transport truck with wood sides and a canvas top. After being driven up a windy road to the top of the track we were unloaded. The truck immediately departed and showed back up a few minutes later with 2 bobsleds for the first 4 guests. In between each 2 bobsleds we were surprised to see the Romainian team come out to do their practice runs as our bobsleds were fetched by the troup-truck. It took a while to get through all the guests, but the staff was well organized and efficient. Most "things" we do on vacation are quite fun but can be done many other places around the world. Olympic bobsledding was a real treat. This ride was one of the highlights of an already memorable Christmastime trip to Innsbruck.

Now there are some things you need to know Parking - at the ski jump stadium 5€ for the day. Then a 20 min easy walk up the road to the gates. No you cannot drive up there even if handicapped. There are a couple hotels up there with small lots but nothing at all for visitors. A horse drawn cart runs during the day for a few euros and it appears a taxi will take you up but you get a lot of intense looks if you do that. Just walk. I only have one leg and did it just fine Get ticket online and screenshot a closeup of the qr so you can get in the gate easily. No cell there Arrive by 9am at the latest. It does get crowded Bring a cell phone light or flashlight. There are some tunnels that are pitch black. Consider a hat and shoes that can get wet. Lots of side waterfalls that splash and drop on you While it's not officially a one way trail, you will be judged and given the unofficial German cold shoulder if you try to come back down the narrow gorge trail. It's tight. Again i have one leg and a cane and no way was i going to face a long line of judgmental Germans Is it ada accessible? Maybe. Definitely not a full wheelchair and there are parts that are tight width wise. The end has a steady incline in a dark tunnel that would take some pushing. So what do you do at the far end (south end) there are another set of gates. If you go out you have to buy another ticket to get back in so decide before you exit. Face the Germans or do the loop. I'd say the loop is worth it. Just go another 100 yards south and keep left and there is a trail up to the kaisetscmarn-alm. It's a bit of a climb up well taken care of stairs to the top of the canyon. That place is a little restaurant that has great food. Restrooms there too. And you cross a very cool suspension foot bridge that is also suspension stairs. I suggest you pass the kaiser and before you get to the next hotel on the way down turn left and follow the signs to eierbrucke. Essentially you head back to the top of the canyon and get to cross a bridge right over it and look way down on the people in the bottom. Summary. Do it!
