Füssen

Füssen is beautifully situated at the foot of the Bavarian Alps and is internationally known as the gateway to the fairytale castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. The city combines breathtaking nature with a rich cultural heritage, making it an ideal starting point for both sightseeing and active experiences. The historic old town enchants with colorful facades, cobbled streets, baroque churches, and cozy cafés, where you can enjoy views of the Lech River flowing through the city. Just outside the city center, the landscape opens up to alpine peaks, green valleys, and crystal-clear lakes. Hiking trails lead directly from the town into the mountains, while cycling routes wind along Alpsee and Forggensee, offering tranquil nature experiences with the castles as a backdrop. Füssen is a destination where royal history, alpine charm, and active holidays converge, and where the changing seasons bring new experiences—from lush summers to atmospheric winter landscapes.
