What you'll see
A narrow iron footbridge high over a waterfall in the Pöllat gorge, with the classic side-on view of Neuschwanstein on its rock. It gets very crowded at midday.
A brief history
Ludwig II's father had a wooden bridge put across the gorge and named it after his queen, Marie; Ludwig replaced it with the iron one in the 1860s.
