Crossed off a big item from bucket list thanks to Anna and @myrexicon. The castle is just as majestic as it looks in the pictures. We reached early since we did not purchase the tickets online. Brought the tickets for 1.5 hours later and roamed around the castle and at the marienbruck- the bridge that offers incredible views of the castle. The view is just Incredible, especially with the fall colored mountain backdrops. The ticket comes with audio guide that works extremely well thoughout the interior tour. It takes about an hour to complete the tour. And just note that you will not be able to go in an earlier slot if you have tickets for later. The entry controls are like in an Airport 😂. And there is no photography allowed inside the castle.
