Lechfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The destination of the Lech ErlebnisWeg, which leads from Landsberg to Füssen, is located directly at the Lechfall. The Lechweg begins just a few steps further, for those who haven't had enough of hiking.

Alpenrosenweg Hiking Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Alpine Rose Trail is an easy high-altitude trail between Füssen and Hohenschwangau, offering beautiful views of numerous sights and scenic highlights in the area. It was created around 1850 by King Maximilian II for his wife Marie and is a section of the Ostallgäu High Trail.

Hardly any of the alpine roses remain today, but a hike along the Alpine Rose Trail offers magnificent views of the landscape and sights of the area.

The most beautiful views awaiting you on the Alpine Rose Trail are those overlooking Lake Schwansee and its adjacent park. In 1837 and 1838, King Maximilian II had the areas surrounding Lake Schwansee redesigned in the style of a typical English landscape garden, creating Hohenschwangau Palace Park.

The highlight of the hike along the Alpine Rose Trail is the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles, located very close to Lake Alpsee, amidst a picturesque mountain landscape.

South Shore of the Alpsee

Highlight • Lake

It is impressive when you can see the two castles from the lower end of the lake when the visibility is good.
Dog owners should remember that there are gratings at the lower end of the lake to overflow and they cannot be bypassed, so the dog should be able to or he must be carried.
