The view across Lake Forggensee to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles is a magical panorama that perfectly captures the beauty of Bavaria. In the foreground you can see the calm, turquoise waters of Lake Forggensee, framed by rolling hills and green meadows. Behind them rise the majestic Allgäu Alps, in which the two famous castles are nestled.

Neuschwanstein Castle, with its tall towers and fairytale appearance, sits on a hill and almost seems to float above the forests and mountains. Not far away is the slightly more modest but equally historic Hohenschwangau Castle, easily recognizable by its yellow facade. On a clear day, especially in summer, the entire panorama is reflected in the smooth surface of Lake Forggensee, making the view even more impressive.

The Forggensee is with its 15.2 square kilometers the fifth largest lake in Bavaria and the largest reservoir in Germany. The bike path around the lake is fully developed and is one of the most traveled bike paths D.eutschlands, on a nice weekend you should choose another of the 1200 km bike paths in Ostallgäu. The lake is freely accessible all around, the entire bank area is state property.
