From the car park to the castle by shuttle bus
The shuttle bus is already included in the ticket price for Hohenzollern Castle
HVB Wiest & Schürmann provides a shuttle bus service for the route between the car park and the Adlertor (castle entrance). The shuttle bus stops at the upper car park P1, right next to the souvenir shop. If necessary, the lower car park P2 will also be opened, which will then also be served by the shuttle.
Important information:
The shuttle bus runs to the Adlertor, the entrance gate to the castle. From there, it is about 350 metres on foot through the castle's impressive driveway. The path is partly cobbled and leads uphill. Information for guests with walking disabilities can be found on the Hohenzollern Castle website under the heading ‘Visitor information’. It is also possible to take the lift next to the Adlertor gate to the last gate before the castle courtyard.
