For those dreaming of turreted castles and romantic lakeside palaces, without waiting on a travel companion, Solos Holidays has unveiled a new itinerary that turns fantasy into reality.


Their seven-day “Germany Bavarian Fairytales, Castles and Mountains” tour offers solo travellers the chance to explore the heart of southern Germany.


Travellers will begin with a visit to the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle, the cliffside fortress that inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty palace. Just next door is its lesser-known but equally enchanting counterpart, Schloss Hohenschwangau, once the summer residence of King Ludwig II.


From there, the tour ascends - literally. Guests will travel to the summit of Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak, for panoramic views across the Alps that stretch as far as Austria and Italy on a clear day.


The alpine theme continues with a visit to the elegant Linderhof Palace, Ludwig’s ornate homage to Versailles, located within a mountain valley.


History and spirituality mix at Ettal Monastery, a working Benedictine abbey surrounded by forested slopes, before the group boards a boat across the waters of Lake Chiemsee. There, on Herreninsel Island, travellers will explore Herrenchiemsee Palace, Ludwig’s final, most extravagant construction - complete with Hall of Mirrors and gold-leaf flourishes.


The journey concludes in Berchtesgaden, a picturesque town tucked into Germany’s southeastern corner. Here, visitors will tour the famed Eagle’s Nest, once a retreat for Hitler but now a mountaintop restaurant and memorial with panoramic views and a sobering history.


At £2,999 per person, the package includes:

  • Return flights and transfers

  • Airport taxes and charges

  • Six nights’ accommodation with solo occupancy

  • Daily breakfast and two dinners

  • A welcome drink

  • Guided entry to all major sites, including Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau, Linderhof, Ettal Monastery, and Herrenchiemsee

  • A lake cruise to Herreninsel

  • A visit to Berchtesgaden and the Eagle’s Nest

  • The company of a dedicated Solos Tour Leader, ensuring everyone feels part of the group from day one
