Castles within 50-75 km of Munich

We are renting a car in Germany one day but are limited to 200 km in the car- are there any interesting castles that are 50-70 km from Munich?

The Bavarian Palace website has a map and detailed information for all of the Palaces, Castles, Fortresses and Royal Residences in Bavaria. …bayern.de/englisch/palace/index.htm

In the sense of castles = palaces this is no problem.

The Residence in Munich, Nymphenburg Castle in Munich, Herrenchiemsee.

See the link given in the 1st answer (which shows however only the state owned castles).

If it comes to the classical hilltop medieval castles this is not so easy inside this range (partly through the lack of appropriate hills)

Burg Trausnitz in Landshut

Burghausen - the longest castle in Europe (~ 110 km from Munich)

Neuschwanstein Castle (a 19th century palace in the style of a medieval castle) (~ 130 km from Munich)

You can visit all mentioned above castles as well by public transport. Travel time to Burghausen or Hohenschwangau (for Neuschwanstein) is 2-2,5 hours.

A good deal is the Bavaria Ticket (EUR 27,00). Valid one day for 2-5 persons and covering all local trains and nearly all other local public transport in Bavaria. E.g. the bus from Füssen to Hohenschwangau is also covered. Or the buses in Landshut. Two restrictions

a) only local trains (but this plays for this routes no role)

b) validity on weekdays

Mo-Fr 9am - 3am next day

(Sa or Su midnight till 3am next day)
