Here you have a beautiful view of the Lech. The flows at this point directly on the way and shimmers in great turquoise. In the background the mountains rise. A great sight.

View of Neuschwanstein Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the "Romantic Road" cycle path you pass Neuschwanstein at some distance. Even from a distance, the castle unfolds its magic.

Its idyllic location and the impressive view of the Allgäu Alps make Hopfensee a worthwhile destination for a bike tour. The view of the lake is particularly attractive at sunset, when the mountains in the background shine in warm colors.

Today's tour went from Nesselwang to Trauchgau. That is just behind Halblech and about 13 km from the royal castles.
The route is short because of the many highlights: the Kössel brewery in Speiden (unfortunately still closed in the morning), the Hopfensee with its beautiful promenade, Füssen, this time with a visit to the worthwhile town museum, the royal castles. …

A wonderful stage in postcard weather. Directly past the royal castles and with a visit to Hohenschwangau. Shortly afterwards a stop for a swim in the Bannwaldsee.

Day 3: From Lachen/Nesselwang to Halblech/Buching

We set off a little later today in the best weather. The route we wanted to ride was relatively short and, with an e-bike, relatively undemanding in terms of fitness. And the landscape 🤩... was a dream 😃.
Meadows, pastures, mountains, lakes. I can't even capture it in pictures, and if I could sniff …

June 25, 2024,Bodensee-Königssee Radweg 3. Etappe "Schlosspark" (Nesselwang-Halblech)

Today we started a leisurely tour with a few sights.
The really worth seeing St. Andreas Church in Nesselwang, the famous royal castles near Füssen (with lots of tourists 🤩) and the beautiful lakes in front of a breathtaking Alpine backdrop.
A really enjoyable stage.
After a leisurely coffee break at Bannwaldsee, we were just able to escape the approaching …

July 20, 2025,BikeMike / Au | Etappe 3 | Bodensee-Königssee Radweg |Nesselwang - Halblech

Because of the shift in accommodations over the last two days, we only had 40km to cover today. So: plenty of culture, plenty of rest. The return to Forgensee added another 7km.
Hohenschwangau, Neuschwanstein, and the museum are worth a visit, but not on a Sunday like today.
Füssen is a town worth seeing; we just rolled through it today.

August 25, 2025,Bodensee-Königssee Radweg 3. Etappe Haslach - Halblech

The Grüntensee lake in the Haslach district is the perfect start to the third stage. Via Gschwend, we reach Nesselwang – the gateway to the eastern Allgäu. The route continues through Hertingen across wide meadows to Pfronten. Accompanied by the panorama of the Allgäu Alps, the Zugspitze and the Tannheimer Mountains soon appear. In Hopfen am See – the "Allgäu …
