General presentation
Allgäu, Füssen et Neuschwanstein
Region of lakes, castles, alpine meadows, villages and gentle mountains around Füssen.
Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau and Füssen give the most telling landmarks of Allgäu, Füssen and Neuschwanstein. Together, they make up a destination where mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very reserved castles and strong tributary. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Oberstdorf
Oberstdorf leans against the Alps of Allgäu, with deep valleys, ski jumpers and departures to the Nebelhorn or Breitachklamm. The resort is as popular with walkers as it is with winter travelers, but mountain weather often decides on the visibility and choice of routes.
Remarkable location
Isny im Allgäu
Isny im Allgäu keeps walls, towers and colourful houses in the middle of the pre-Alpine meadows. The atmosphere is softer than in the mountain resorts: there is an Allgäu of small squares, steeples, markets and views open to the Alps when the sky emerges.
Remarkable location
Hindelang
Hindelang, often called Bad Hindelang, nests in an alpine valley of the Allgäu, between pastures, chalets and roads that climb towards the passes. The place speaks especially to travelers who come to walk, ski or breathe a mountain village atmosphere, with very changing landscapes depending on snow, fog or summer alps.
Place
Neuschwanstein
Neuschwanstein hits with its perched castle decor, with mountains, forests and views of the lakes of Allgäu. Behind the tale picture, the visit also reveals the dreams, scenery and isolation of Louis II of Bavaria, in a site that is often very popular.
