Neuschwanstein Castle

Dream and reality.
The legend lives on:
K i n g L u d w i g I I (1845–1886),
who met his death under mysterious circumstances in Lake Starnberg, is a fascinating figure. Every
year millions of visitors flock to
the palaces of this shy monarch
who loved art and loathed state
affairs.
Ludwig‘s father King Maximilian II
had H o h e n s c h w a n g a u
C a s t l e built as a summer residence by the idyllic Lake Alpsee.
Ludwig spent a happy childhood
and youth here. The palace is well
worth a visit: with its richly decorated rooms and original furniture,
it vividly recalls the everyday life
of the royal family.
On the shores of the Alpsee with
a view of Neuschwanstein Castle,
the new M u s e u m o f t h e
B a v a r i a n K i n g s opened in
2011. A walk-through family tree
provides an introduction to the
history of the Wittelsbachs, one of
the oldest dynasties in Europe.
See page 23 for details.
Fantastic: N e u s c h w a n s t e i n
C a s t l e , Germany‘s most famous
historic building, is the fairy-tale
king‘s medieval Castle of the Grail.
The castle rises majestically against
the snow-covered Alpine peaks. A
visit to the castle is especially enjoyable in winter when you can explore the royal apartments without
the crowds of summer visitors.

Füssen – between mountains, lakes and the River Lech
A romantic setting.
In Füssen, B a v a r i a n t r a d i t i o n s are still very much a part
of people‘s day-to-day lives.
Guests from all over the world can
experience these customs entirely
authentically – for example at an
alphorn concert by Lake Hopfensee. The fascinating mountain
panorama, the glittering lake and
sonorous alphorns – that‘s pure
Bavaria.

High above the River Lech: the
Benedictine monastery of St Mang
and Füssen‘s High Palace (Hohes
Schloss).
Savour the town‘s special charm while strolling through
the streets and taking a look at the shops: that, too, is
something that is especially pleasurable in Füssen. Far
from the roar of the traffic, you can enjoy the atmosphere of the R e i c h e n s t r a s s e (main road),
wander down crooked lanes and discover many a fine
souvenir. Culinary delights and authentic beer gardens
are all included, of course.

runs upstream to the district of
Bad Faulenbach and downstream

traffic and trading route navigated
by rafts.

mer monastery church and presentday parish church is the largest and
most impressive of Füssen‘s baroque churches. The crypt is thought
to date back in its architectural
history to the times of St Magnus
and houses Bavaria’s oldest fresco.
The Füssen Heritage
M u s e u m . Archaeological finds
and art treasures have provided
evidence of 1000 years of monastic history. The splendid Baroque
rooms, which include the Prince’s
Hall, give some idea of the former
monastery’s wealth. The museum
also boasts one of the finest collections of historical lutes and violins in Europe.
In the A n n a C h a p e l , which
can be reached via the museum, is
the impressive Death Dance cycle
by Jakob Hiebeler (1602), the oldest
of its kind in Bavaria.
The area of the present-day Bread Market
is thought to have been the origin
of the medieval town. Today it is
here that the Lute-Makers Fountain
recalls the historical importance
of Füssen as the “Cradle of LuteMaking” in Europe.
The Reichenstraße,
historical patricians‘ houses, huddling side by side, line the main
shopping street in the pedestrian
precinct, which is identical to the
route of the earlier Roman road
Via Claudia Augusta.
T h e T o w n F o u n t a i n at the
upper end of the Reichenstrasse

saint. At the fountain a narrow
metal strip has been set into the
street paving to recall the ancient
Roman route of the Via Claudia
Augusta in this area.

Bavarian specialities
The restaurants and inns of Füssen
offer true Bavarian-style hospitality.
Bavarian specialities have a long
tradition here and are delicious.
These two pages show some examples of typical Bavarian dishes.
Please note that they may be prepared slightly differently in the
various restaurants.
Boiled white sausages (Weißwürste) are served with sweet
mustard (süßer Senf) and a
pretzel (Brezel) , a typical Bavarian bread speciality.
Meat loaf (Leberkäse/Fleischkäse)
is the favourite dish of many
Bavarians. It tastes great with a
tangy light or dark wheat beer
(Weizenbier) .
Bavarian-style
culinary delights.
A Bavarian snack platter (bayerische Brotzeitplatte) includes
ham, various kinds of sausage,
spicy Allgäu cheese and bread. This
also goes well with a wheat beer
(Weizenbier) .
12
Fried pork sausage with sauerkraut (Schweinsbratwürste mit
Sauerkraut) . These sausages
are frequently eaten in a roll as a
snack, too.
Cheese spaetzle (Käsespätzle) are an Allgäu speciality consisting
of noodles mixed with spicy Allgäu
cheese and sprinkled with fried
onion rings.
Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel) ,
Apples wrapped in sweet strudel
pastry with custard or vanilla ice
cream and/or whipped cream.
Knuckle of pork (Schweinshaxen)
is grilled or roasted and usually
served with bread dumpling or po-
tato dumpling and red cabbage or
sauerkraut. A good hearty Bavarian
speciality.
An idyllic place to relax and unwind: the restaurant garden of
St Mang, formerly a monastery.

A Journey of Discovery
Experience the Allgäu.
Hike in King Ludwig‘s
f o o t s t e p s : The route runs
from Füssen across the River Lech
and past the hidden Lake Schwansee to Hohenschwangau Castle,
King Ludwig II‘s childhood paradise.
From here the path winds its way
uphill to Neuschwanstein Castle.
Approx. 6 km, an easy hike.
Shorter route: take the scheduled
bus for either the outward or return trip.
14
Discover the Allgäu from water!
Take a trip on Forggensee, Bavaria‘s
fifth largest lake and enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the king‘s
castles of Neuschwanstein and
Hohenschwangau, the historical
town of Füssen and the surrounding Alpine peaks!
www.forggenseeschifffahrt.de
It is hard to imagine a more romantic way to watch the sun go down
than on an evening boat ride on
the Forggensee. The two-hour trips
start from the jetty in Füssen at
7.30 p.m. every Wednesday in July
and August.
The Allgäu – yours to discover.
The Allgäu: Bavaria's most beautiful holiday area. The Füssen region
with its 935 miles (about 1500 kilometres) of perfectly signposted
routes and 65 circuit paths is regarded as a p a r a d i s e f o r
c y c l i s t s . Whether for those
with sporting ambitions or more
for pleasure, the foothills of the
Alps offer the appropriate route
for every type of cyclist.
http://maps.fuessen.de (GPS tracks)
Insider’s Tip
Take it easy on a flat walk, sticking
to the water’s edge in the heart of
some impressive mountain scenery. By following the Lechuferweg
trail to the shores of the Forggensee, the Hopfenseerundweg, the
Weißenseerundweg and the lakeside circuit in the Faulenbach Valley you can discover nature at its
most beautiful. The monumental
hulk of the Säuling, Füssen’s very
own mountain, is never out of sight.
S al o b e r- A lm
Leave the historical centre of Füssen, go through the car-free Faulenbach Valley, pass by Lake Alatsee and then go on uphill to the
Salober-Alm (located at an altitude
of 1087 metres), where food and
drinks are available.
Approx. 6–6. 5 km one way, a
simple hike. Altitude differential
approx. 300 m. Duration: approx.
4.5–5.5 hours round trip.
www.saloberalm.de*
Hopfensee
The starting point is the car park
by the lakeside road (Uferstraße) in
Hopfen am See (can also be reached
by scheduled bus from Füssen bus
station!). From here you follow th

Winter wonderland
The pleasures of the snow.
Have your winter fairy-tale come
true: wrapped up in cosy blankets,
you glide through the glittering,
snow-covered landscape in a horsedrawn sleigh. For example at Lake
Hopfensee or Lake Bannwaldsee,
where you can observe up to 150
deer living in the wild.
Winter time in Füssen: magnificently fresh winter air and a crystal-clear view of the mountains.
The mountain hut tobogganing
combination is very popular: climb
your way up cleared tails to a
warm welcome in a cosy mountain
hut, after which you can fly back
down the valley on a sled.
Twinkling lights, Allgäu arts and
crafts, the delicious fragrance of
roast apples and punch: F ü s s e n
C h r i s t m a s M a r k e t is held
on two weekends in December in
the festively illuminated monastery
courtyard of St Mang, at the heart
of Füssen‘s historical town centre.
Enjoy a unique blend of the traditional and modern. Brass band
music and the sound of rifle fire
are an integral part of the experience.

Boat trips on Lake Forggensee
See
Treat yourself to a magnificent waterborne panorama: the further the Forggensee boat moves away from the lake‘s southern
shore, the more splendid the view of the mountain world of
the Ammergau, Lechtal and Tannheim Alps, Neuschwanstein
and Hohenschwangau castles and the silhouette of Füssen. Get
to know the Allgäu Königswinkel from the water on a relaxing
boat excursion on Bavaria‘s fifth largest lake.
From June 1st to October 15th the two passenger boats of
the Füssen shipping company run two round trips of differing
length several times a day. The short circuit in the southern
section of the lake lasts approx. 55 minutes. The large circuit
lasts two hours and runs to the dam at the northern end. At
each stop-off point you can leave the boat or take a lunch or
coffee break as you please.
Both boats have catering on board and can also be booked for
special trips. It is also possible to alternate sections of a hike or
cycle tour with a boat trip.

easily reached by car (about 28
miles, 45 km). This holiday resort
is world-famous for its Passion

themselves worth a visit.

Follow the German Alpine Road to
L i n d a u and discover the only
Bavarian town on Lake Constance
(about 143 miles, 230 km). It is
popular for its historical Old Town,
round trips by ship and a fantastic

Herrenchiemsee
C a s t l e In 1873 King Ludwig II
of Bavaria acquired the Herreninsel
on Lake Chiemsee as the location
for his Royal Palace of Herrenchiemsee. The actual building of
this “Bavarian Versailles” was begun in 1878. When Ludwig II died
in 1886 the palace was still incomplete, and sections of it were later
demolished.
www.herrenchiemsee.de
L i n d e r h o f p a l a c e This
palace was also built by Ludwig II,
and for many Ludwig fans it is in
fact the finest (about 31 miles,
50 km). The Hall of Mirrors, the
Palace Park with its Moorish Kiosk
and Peacock’s Throne as well as the
artificial grotto with a wave machine, through which the King was
rowed in his shell boat, are some
of the exceptional sights.
