Neuschwanstein & Linderhof in December 2026: in daylight or in the dark?
Short answer: On 15 December 2026: Neuschwanstein and Marienbrücke at 14:30 (Linderhof first, Neuschwanstein last): sun sets 32 min before you leave. Sun up 08:00–16:28. The "Neuschwanstein only, morning" version keeps it in daylight. With the usual timing, 31 of 31 days in December reach a main stop after sunset or before sunrise.
Tours that visit Linderhof and Oberammergau first reach Neuschwanstein in the afternoon. The view from Marienbrücke faces the castle from the south-east, and in December the sun sets behind the mountains well before the official sunset.
