On the banks of the turquoise river Lech, the old town centre is a maze of narrow medieval streets and magnificent baroque churches. Grouped around it are the villages of Bad Faulenbach, Hopfen am See and Weissensee, all set in idyllic lakeland scenery amid the foothills of the Alps. The variety of the beautiful countryside - Alpine mountains, rolling Allgäu hills and idyllic lakes - provides endless possibilities for an unforgettable active holiday.

The attractions of Füssen's romantic old quarter include Hohes Schloss Castle, the baroque monastery of St. Mang, medieval gabled houses and secluded squares. The former royal residences of Neuschwanstein Castle and Hohenschwangau Castle (4km), the Wieskirche Pilgrimage Church (25km), Oberammergau, Linderhof Palace (50km) and the Zugspitze mountain (60km) are easily reached from here.
