Reith-Alpe Schwangau in Schwangau

As a city dweller, all I can say is: It doesn't get any better than this! A breathtaking view of the fairytale castle, pleasant natural sounds (cowbells), very friendly hosts, delicious regional food and drinks. It's definitely worth a detour! Keep it up, Bettina, Christian, and of course, Wolfgang! Upgrade 06/23: Change in management. Christian is still there, but not in the restaurant business... Still delicious, and the view is, of course, unchanged. But the warmth is missing. Nice new professionalism?!? Upgrade 10/25: Back to the roots. More down-to-earth and friendly again, a real gem!

A great place to recharge and enjoy the view. The food is really very good, as is the service. We went there twice during our holiday and will definitely come back next time.

A nice, small, cozy place. We went based on the reviews, but were surprised by the very limited menu—sausages, cold cuts, and soup. The view is gorgeous.

Great hut to enjoy a drink with a beautiful view of Neuschwanstein.

Cozy Bavarian hospitality. Very friendly staff and delicious snacks and homemade cakes. The view is impressive. There's also a small playground. We'd love to come back 😎

The food and cake were very good. The staff were extremely friendly. The surroundings are very quiet and beautiful. We Swabians will be back. October 21, 2025. We made our way to the Alpe and discovered that the two girls do a great job. The food was very good and everyone was very friendly. The goulash soup and sausage salad were delicious 😋 We can only recommend you. We always enjoy coming back.

We were here twice during our vacation. The food, service, location, and ambiance were absolutely fantastic. Nice people...😀😀😀... Highly recommended... We'd love to come back. Best regards and keep up the good work...👍👍👍👍👍 R. Ehrhart

Great place – very friendly service, excellent snacks (good value for money), very filling :) I'll be back: thank you, it was lovely!

After the downhill hike, we landed at the Reith-Alpe – and it was simply the perfect end to the day. Sitting in the sun, enjoying the view of Neuschwanstein Castle, and sipping a freshly tapped Hacker Pschorr beer – it really couldn't be better. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, the view simply magnificent. A place where you'll immediately want to head down and stay for a while. Highly recommended!

We had a delicious meal in a beautiful location. From the parking lot, it's just a few minutes' walk to the restaurant. There are about 10-15 tables (outdoors only), all with a stunning view of Neuschwanstein Castle! There's also a small playground. The menu is smaller, but there's plenty of choice. We had the goulash soup, and it's definitely recommended.

A beautiful spot with a direct view of Neuschwanstein Castle. A small sun terrace and garden. A small menu with typical local dishes. My tip: Alpine bread.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Reith-Alpe is beautifully situated and easily accessible after a 45-minute hike from St. Coloman. There are plenty of seats in front of the alpine hut to enjoy the magnificent view. Including a magnificent view of Neuschwanstein Castle! The staff is warm and attentive, and you immediately feel welcome. The cuisine is delicious and varied – from hearty snacks and soups to sweet delicacies, there's something for everyone. The prices are also absolutely reasonable for an alpine hut in such a fantastic location. A visit is definitely worth it – we'd love to come back!

We were very satisfied with everything. We'd be happy to come back anytime 👍

Great food, good service, great view

Superb, traditional alpine pasture, very friendly. We went there for dinner after a hike. The sausage salad with the delicious bread—what can I say? This meal is excellent; I would go back again every time. We could see the delicious baked cheese at the next table, so it's a shame we could only fill one stomach. Please keep up the good work and stay healthy. Best wishes to the team. P.S. The alpine blossoms as a topping on the sausage salad are amazing!

A short stop. A very warm welcome. The snack was varied and very filling… and delicious. A wheat beer with it, nothing more was needed. I was there in fog, but it's probably even better in sunshine. Highly recommended.

Quaint, great location, and super friendly staff. Highly recommended...

there no view of the castle when you are seated

I stumbled across it by chance on Maps and decided to go there. The effort was rewarded with a very friendly, cheerful waitress and a very good sausage salad. The view is also great.

Such a cute alpine hut. The view of both castles (Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau) is priceless! The service was very friendly and attentive to our children, too.

A lovely little alpine inn with delicious food and a cozy beer garden. We've been here twice now, and those won't be the last.

Very cozy place with beautiful views of the castles and the countryside, food was excellent and served quickly.

The ambiance doesn't deserve 5 stars! Great service, delicious food at reasonable prices. The "hiking trail" from the lower parking lot is great with a stroller.

The selection is extensive and delicious. Nestled against the picturesque backdrop of the castles near Füssen, this is a special place. The service is warm and Bavarian.

With our 1- and 3-year-old children, the other huts were out of reach for us. We were all the more grateful for Reith Alp. A short walk from the parking lot by the Tegelberg cable car. A delicious, hearty snack with a great view and a small playground. The staff was very friendly. Highly recommended!

Beautiful alpine pasture, cash only.

Super Alpe, the condition very nice and the food very tasty, great view of the castles 👍

We appreciated the place, food and view a lot!

It was very nice, with friendly service and super delicious food. I'd go back. It was especially nice to be able to sit by the cow pasture.

The best place for a crunchy snack after work in the summer ☀️. Simply a dream and super good.

Absolutely recommended!! This is how I imagine Bavarian hospitality and gastronomy. Absolutely authentic, super friendly service, and an environment to unwind. We definitely want to go there again!

Beautifully situated alpine pasture with excellent views of the royal castles.

The location is idyllic, and the food is not bad.

One of the hidden gems... Beautiful view, great beer and refreshings snacks...

Beautiful place with a wonderful view, very friendly service and delicious snacks

Unique....hut, staff, food and drink and the view, we love coming here

It's super beautiful there. You have a view of both castles. Super friendly service and delicious food. We'll be back 😊

Good food and an incredibly beautiful view...highly recommended 😊

Super friendly, delicious food! We'd love to go back!

Such delicious snacks! With a view of Neuschwanstein Castle Uniquely beautiful

Everything is great. The portions are generous, even for big eaters. It's a 5-minute walk from the parking lot, but you feel like you're on an alpine pasture.

All in all, this is an absolutely fantastic restaurant 💯 Views of the castles, the Alpine foothills, and the cows 🤣 The food was delicious and fresh. We had the snack for two and a freshly tapped light beer. It tasted amazing and I 100% recommend it! And for all you schnapps lovers, order the Hirschkuss. I've never tasted anything as good.

Very nice, cozy and friendly. The view is amazing and prices are low

A lovely little alpine pasture, easily accessible from the Tegelbahn parking lot, even with an older model! There's also a lovely playground for children. The view of both castles is wonderful.

Beautiful hut in the valley with castle view

Highly recommended. If you've been up in the gondola, come here for a bite to eat and a drink. The most beautiful view of Neuschwanstein Castle

Just had a drink, very nice location, friendly staff and great view of the castles.

Magnificent view of the castles, friendly service, and a good selection of drinks. The food is beautifully presented, like canned food, but sold at a high price. A lovely end to a Tegelberg hike.

Such a beautiful alp, delicious food lovingly prepared, very friendly service, great view

very close to nature and especially

It's very nice and they have a really delicious homemade cheesecake.

Surprising good food, very cozy and super friendly and nice staff and people. Recommend coming here rain or shine!

Rustic alpine pasture, easy to reach by bike.

Top Essen und super freundlich. Schön gelegen. Alles Bestens! Herrlich eingerichtet und richtiger Familienbetrieb. Mit dem Wirt gleich jagdlich gefachsimpelt.

A magical place with delicious food, great service, and a view that surpasses everything.

Magnificent view of the castles. Delicious food and drinks, and excellent service. We'll definitely stop by again on our next visit to the region.

Incredibly good and friendly service. You felt very comfortable. Can only be recommended.

Beautiful view, friendly and funny hospitality, delicious food - everything was great!

As of today, the Reith-Alpe is open again 🎉 Always worth a visit! Very tasty snack, friendly service and great view

Unfortunately I didn't eat here, I just wanted to have a drink and take a short break. It's self-service outside but no problem, everything went very quickly. What was much more important to me was the view of the castles. I don't think any other place offers such a fantastic view of both castles.

Perfect place to rest. Super friendly service and really tasty food.

Very nice. Quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Very nice serving staff. Cake good. Wine spritzer also good.

Very nice staff and beautiful location. The cake was awesome😉

Only 3 stars, closed due to bad weather, a nice area. It definitely would have been good if it had been open. So, even if there is little rain, don't go there specifically for entertainment. We were there at the beginning of October

Wonderful, but 2 days was not enough, 2 more were needed to see everything.. Spectacular images, I can only recommend you go at least once in your life..

The snack was amazing. We found the price of the snack too cheap and the prices of the drinks too expensive. This can be optimized somewhat. The staff is super nice, nice atmosphere, what more could you want.

Great location with a direct view of Neuschwanstein Castle and the Marienbrücke....perfect end to every hike

Great location with a view of the castles and Marienbrücke… Super delicious food… plentiful and delicious… Top… gladly again

Food was tasty and sufficient...nice service...recommended

Stopping here in the afternoon after a lovely hike and enjoying the panorama and view towards Neuschwanstein Castle is fantastic. The small, relaxed hut with its offerings also invites you to linger! We definitely loved our bacon and cheese bread. And there is a small playground for the children, so there is something for everyone!

Best place for a snack Classic with cash

If you're a tourist keep in mind this is more like a bar than a restaurant. You'll get sit down service, but the menu is in German only and the young waitress was very kind to us in translating. Cash only by the way. (There's an ATM at the cable car.) We were invited to sit with a lovely local couple who didn't speak English and were later joined by an older local who also spoke very little English. The place was charming, highly local, the beer and food was excellent although limited - it seems like mostly beer garden style meats, cheeses, soups etc.

Beautiful alpine pasture between Tegelberg valley station and Neuschwanstein. Wonderful snack with a sensational view. Nice friendly staff. We'd love to come back!

Beautifully located Jause Hut in the middle of the countryside. 5 minutes walk from the Tegelbahn.

Very nice spot, delicious food and great service.

You can reach the Alpe via the Tegelbergbahn car park on foot or by bike (gravel path). Very good food, super nice staff and a wonderful view of Neuschwanstein.

Super friendly, highly recommended

Such a great place 🤩. Pure relaxation. Food menu small but nice. Prices reasonable. The service is super friendly. You feel in good hands there 😉. I went up by bike. For me, as someone with knee damage, it's absolutely fine and manageable. I would be very happy to recommend you.

We didn't eat there, we went hiking at the Alpsee. The public toilets were not clean. The parking lot was quite expensive.

Great little alp below the Tegelberg. The view of the royal castles is very beautiful 😊🏰 Very easy to reach by bike.

Das Essen und die Hollunderschorle waren wirklich lecker. Zudem war das Personal super nett und gut drauf. Das ist ja nicht selbstverständlich.

Very good restaurant with a beautiful view and well-stocked plates.

Very nice Alm, great view, good food, friendly service

Delicious snack platter for two eaten in the middle of nature with a view of the castle👍

Nice, simple restaurant with very nice staff in a great environment

Small, cozy alp at the foot of the Tegelberg. The menu is clear, but offers everything you need for a hearty snack. Particularly noteworthy is the great playground where the children can let off steam. We'd love to come back!

Very good atmosphere. The view is amazing.

The food was ok as well as the drinks, the atmosphere here is excellent, the CDs are quite high, there were a lot of tourists during the tourist season, you need to prepare for waiting and be patient.

Nice place to just sit and enjoy the area. A good view of the castles. With a small playground. Moderate prices for food and drinks with regional selection.

Wonderful Alpe within walking distance. From Schwangau about 30 minutes. Nice innkeeper and really nice view of the castles.

Dream setting and Almbubi's baked cheese Away from the hustle and bustle Highly recommended 👍

We spent a very nice afternoon there. We rode our bikes to this place, which at the end has a good climb on a gravel track. We had a BREAKFAST for two, a few cold drinks and at the end a very good coffee. You have a great view. You can only stay outside, which is why the Alpe is only open when the weather is good. Dogs are welcome.

I have rated this Restaurant this way because I didn't like it too much and here are some reasons: The waiters have been very rude to us, we have not been comfortable. We have ordered 4 waters and 1 Cocacola and since we are Spanish it has been difficult for them to understand us and they responded badly to us.

We were there at the end of the tour to Tegelberg. Located in a very rural setting in the middle of beautiful meadows and nature. Can be reached from Tegelberg station in 10 minutes. There is service on the terrace and self-service in the garden area. It was a nice ending with a delicious sausage salad 😋.

Beautiful little alpine hut with a perfect view of Neuschwanstein Castle. Food, drink and service fantastic

Ambiance without words (clearly with a view of Neuschwanstein;) Food good, service friendly and price performance also ok…

Beautiful little rest area with a view of Neuschwanstein. The food was also very tasty!

Very nice to stop off after a strenuous hike.

Very nice hut to stop off at. Nice hosts and delicious dishes 👌🏻

Super great environment. Best view of the Alps and royal castles. Looks good sausage salad. Thanks!
