Could someone help me out? Driving on our way down to Neushwanstein Castle on Hwy 17, we ran into a cool place where there was a ski lift that brought your to the top of a hill (east side of 17). On the top of the hill was a little beer garden and paragliders. Does anyone know the name of this garden or the name of the town? Thanks in advance.

The Tegelberg Cable Car is located in Schwangau, which is along Hwy 17, not far from Neuschwanstein & Füssen. You can link to info below:

Thanks Robyn!

After further review, the place we went to did not have cable cars, but more of a ski lift. For the life of me I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I would say it was a dream if I didn't have the pictures to prove it.

There is also Buchenberg which is just a bit further along hwy 17.

It really does sound like Tegelberg. How long did it take you to drive to Hohenschwangau (the village where Neuschwanstein is located) from the place you are referring to? Tegelberg does have chairlifts, too.

Ahaaa!! Buchenberg it is! This was a great place to stop in the summertime to grab some food and beer on the way to Neushwanstein. Thanks to everyone for your help.
