The shuttle bus is already included in the ticket price for Hohenzollern Castle
HVB Wiest & Schürmann provides a shuttle bus service between the parking lot and the Eagle Gate (castle entrance). The shuttle bus stop is located in the upper parking lot P1, right next to the souvenir shop. If necessary, the lower parking lot P2 will also be opened, which will then also be served by the shuttle.
Important information:
The shuttle bus runs to the Eagle Gate, the entrance gate to the castle. From there, it is about a 350-meter walk through the impressive castle 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 elevator next to the Eagle Gate to the last gate before the castle courtyard.
From Sunday, February 1, 2026, Hohenzollern Castle will be open for a limited season. From Saturday, March 28, 2026, limited operation will no longer apply.
