View of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castles Over Forggensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

View of the Forggensee and the Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the beautiful rest area you have a picturesque view of the large, shimmering blue reservoir and the surrounding Alps. The rest area is equipped with simple seating, ideal for a break in nature, and there are accesses to the water.

A wonderful bike ride from Schongau around Lake Forggensee to Lechbruck and then around Lake Hopfensee.
Impressive scenery. Beautiful elevation profile. Fulfills all the Allgäu clichés.
You can't get much better than this.
What a wonderful area 🙂
We'll be back.

It was a great tour,
through beautiful scenery, uphill and downhill, with flowering meadows,
and there were lots of cyclists out and about, no wonder given the wonderful weather.

The tour was very nice but also challenging. But doable for experienced cyclists with a normal e-bike.

June 19, 2023,Lechbruck - Forgensee Runde

We started in Lechbruck and drove to Füssen on the right side of the Forgensee. After a break in the Dolomite Eiscafe with entertainment from great street musicians, we went back on the left side of the lake. A great tour with an amazing panorama
