点评:Logistics to see the Wartburg Castle with a car were too daunting on a 2026 fall weekend that we bailed and chose to get a good view of the castle from afar at the Burschenschaftsdenkmal instead. If you don't have a car, parking is one less obstacle. Here's the breakdown:
First choice: 3-7 euros to park in lot closest to castle, but subject to camera scanning license plate when you enter to calculate parking time/fee at digital machine before leaving. Still have a 10-minute steep walk up to castle or take shuttle for additional fee (3 euros). Supposedly there is a sign at the bottom of the hill that will tell you if there is parking available at top lot. 13 euros per person to see inside (buy at box office with probably line on weekend or buy in advance online) + 2 euros per person to be able to take photos inside (opt.) + 1 euro to climb the south tower (opt.). Total 23 euros max excluding extra shuttle
Second Choice: 1.80 - 6 euros to park in lot a base of forest below castle. 5 euros for roundtrip bus ticket that takes you to upper parking lot. You buy the ticket on the bus. Then 10-minute steep walk to castle or shuttle for extra fee (3 euros). 13 euros per person to see inside + 2 euros per person to be able to take photos inside (opt.) + 1 euro to climb the south tower (opt.). Total 27 euros max excluding extra shuttle
Third choice: You can park at the bottom and walk up, which would save you having to wait/pay for the bus, but the walk is steep and take 25-30 minutes one way.
Our alternate: Burschenschaftsdenkmal, a monument honoring German fraternity members who died in the Franco-Prussian War. Easy to drive right up to monument base, park, and have direct views of Wartburg castle. Free.
翻译:在2026年秋季的一个周末,我们本想开车去沃特堡城堡,但复杂的交通状况实在让人望而却步,于是我们只好作罢,转而选择在“Burschenschaftsdenkmal”纪念碑处从远处欣赏城堡的风貌。如果你没有车,停车就不再是个问题了。以下是具体的停车信息:
首选方案:在离城堡最近的停车场停车仅需3至7欧元;不过进入停车场时系统会通过摄像头扫描车牌,在离开前还需在电子收费机上确认停车时长并计算费用。仍然需要步行10分钟才能到达城堡,或者可以花额外费用(3欧元)乘坐班车。据说在山脚下有个指示牌,会告知山顶的停车场是否有空位。入内参观需支付13欧元/人(周末时售票处可能排长队,建议提前在线购票),若想在内部拍照则需再付2欧元/人(可选);若想登上南塔则需额外支付1欧元(可选)。不算额外的班车费用的话,最高花费为23欧元。
第二选择:1.80欧元:在城堡下方的森林区域停车。5欧元:购买往返巴士票,可前往上方的停车场。巴士票需在车上购买。之后需步行10分钟陡峭的山路才能到达城堡;也可付费(3欧元)乘坐接驳车。参观城堡内部需每人13欧元;若想在内部拍照则需另付2欧元(可选)。登上南塔楼还需额外支付1欧元(可选)。不计算额外接驳车费用的话,最高花费为27欧元。
第三种选择:您也可以将车停在山脚下,然后步行上去。这样可以省去等待或支付巴士费用的麻烦,不过这段路比较陡峭,单程需要25到30分钟。
我们的替代方案:布尔什恩沙夫茨纪念碑,这是为了纪念在普法战争中阵亡的德国大学生联谊会成员而建的纪念碑。开车可以直接到达纪念碑底,停车后就能直接看到瓦尔特堡城堡。完全免费。
