We took the first train out of Munich and still got to the ticket office after the morning slots were gone. Lesson one: book online the night before, not the morning of.
The walk up to Marienbrucke gives you the classic postcard view, castle on one side of the gorge, waterfall underneath the bridge. It gets crowded fast, so go right at opening if you want a clear shot.
Fussen itself is worth a slow afternoon. Small enough to walk end to end, with a lake ten minutes outside town that nobody in the castle line seems to visit.
