Schwangau walks

This circular walk takes us along an easily accessible footpath up to the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle. Along the way, we have great views of Hohenschwangau Castle opposite. From the Marienbrücke bridge, we can enjoy a breathtaking view of the castle and the surrounding Alps. The return route follows a wide forest path along the summer toboggan run – ideal for nature and culture lovers. This path is also much less frequented than the paved main path.

A very pretty tour of Lake Eibsee in Bavaria. The path runs along the shores from a distance, through a beautiful mossy forest, but it is possible to take secondary paths to reach the many coves and swim in the crystal-clear water.

A nice walk around the Vilsalpsee lake to the waterfall and then taking the ascent to the higher lake, Traualpsee, and the refuge.

Short hike in the Partnach Gorge starting from the ski resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, then in the surrounding forest. (Entrance to the gorge costs €10 per person.) Challenging route on the first climb out of the gorge.

Hinterstein - Shreksee - Kirchdachsattel - Hinterstein Route starts from Hinterstein parking. We hiked, but it is possible to take the bus to Kraftwerk Auele, where the trailhead begins. It is a difficult trail with steep inclines with loose rocks and water runoff. It is possible to swim in the lake, and the view from the saddle is really nice.

This wonderful circular walk in Ottobeuren combines enjoyment of nature, exercise and mindfulness and is ideal for families and anyone looking for an inspiring break in the Allgäu. Along the way, you will learn a lot about the different planets.
