Might be a bit unfair not to give it 5 stars, but I can't tell you much about the views, because we were in a cloud 🤷🏻‍♀️ the trails were not the great and bordering on dangerous, so make sure to wear proper footwear and warm clothes, even in juli the clouds are cold. Great place to take nature photos, and there are several ways to reach the top, from cable car, trekking or climbing.

Here’s a detailed look at some of the most popular trails: 1. Tegelberg Panorama Trail (Panoramaweg) • Difficulty: Easy • Distance: 1.7 km • Duration: 30-45 minutes This is a short, easy hike that offers stunning views of the surrounding Bavarian Alps, Neuschwanstein Castle, and the Hohenschwangau area. Starting at the mountain station of the Tegelbergbahn cable car, the trail loops around the summit, allowing you to take in the breathtaking scenery with minimal effort. This trail is suitable for families, older adults, and those looking for a leisurely walk. 2. Tegelberg Summit Trail (Gipfelweg) • Difficulty: Moderate • Distance: 2.3 km • Duration: 1-1.5 hours This trail starts at the Tegelbergbahn mountain station and leads to the summit of Tegelberg at 1,881 meters. This trail is moderately challenging, with a steady incline, but the effort is well-rewarded with panoramic views from the summit. It’s a great choice for those who want to experience the alpine environment without embarking on a long hike. 3. Königliche Jagdweg (Royal Hunting Trail) • Difficulty: Moderate • Distance: 9 km • Duration: 3-4 hours This trail follows the historic route used by Bavarian kings during their hunting expeditions. It starts near the base station of the Tegelbergbahn and winds through dense forests, meadows, and pastures. The trail offers a mix of shaded areas and open vistas, with occasional views of Neuschwanstein Castle. 4. Tegelberg Ridge Trail (Gratweg) • Difficulty: Hard • Distance: 7 km • Duration: 3-4 hours This is one of the most challenging routes on Tegelberg. It follows a narrow ridge from the mountain station to the summit, offering spectacular views but requiring a good head for heights and surefootedness. The trail is steep and rocky in sections, making it suitable for experienced hikers. The rewards include stunning vistas over the Ammergau Alps and the surrounding valleys. 5. Tegelberg Base to Summit Trail (Aufstieg zum Tegelberg) • Difficulty: Hard • Distance: 4.5 km one way • Duration: 2-3 hours This trail starts at the Tegelbergbahn base station and ascends directly to the summit. The path is steep and challenging, passing through dense forests and rocky terrain. It’s a demanding hike but offers a sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit. The descent can be made on foot or by taking the cable car back down. 6. Schwangau - Tegelberg Loop Trail • Difficulty: Moderate • Distance: 16 km • Duration: 5-6 hours This is a full-day loop trail that starts in the village of Schwangau, ascends to the summit of Tegelberg, and then returns via a different route. The trail takes you through a variety of landscapes, including forests, meadows, and alpine terrain.

Beautiful view when it's not foggy like it was for us. It cleared up slightly tho so still worth it. We went up using the cable car which was slightly pricey, 28.50 euros for adults for there and back, you can also hike up if you want but it will take around 3hrs and is very steep. Lots of hiking trails at the top of the mountain to do for all levels and restaurants.

Tegelberg is a beautiful mountain that offers a great aerial view of schwangau castle and surrounding scenery. A place that can do paragliding as well. Check the weather before visit, the cable car and paragliding sometimes suspended due to severe weather conditions.

There is an amazing hike from the car park at the bottom of the cable car that takes you past Neuschwanstein Castle, up to Queen Mary’s Bridge for views of the castle. Going further up the peak, there are beautiful views of Alpsee lake. The trail at some points has fallen trees and a few rocks that are awkward to pass, so be prepared to climb over (or under) one or two fallen trees! There is a pub serving food at the top by the cable car. Cable car costs approx 14€. When you get down there’s a toboggan for 4,50€.

What a view! Within one hour driving from Munich, you end up in a complete new world. Literally breathtaking (if you consider the long hiking you have to do when you want to reach the top :-))

An absolutely wonderful hike through the half snow-covered Tegelberg where we really missed having langlauf-sticks. Even though some parts felt exciting to us, the locals (two of whom slid down a ski slopes on just their 2 feet) made it seem like an easy walk instead. The views at the top make you appreciate the beauty of Austria. Mountains as far as the eye could see.

It’s really nice, clean and calm. There is a camper place exactly next to the lake!

Every year in October the lake is drained and the water from Lake Forggensee is back by June 1st at the latest. The lake reaches its full water level around June 15th, so that you can only see, enjoy and experience it as a full reservoir for four to five months of the year.

An amazing place for a day trip with your family or friends. The color of the water, mountains and sky makes it close to heaven. Easy to reach, not very far from Munich. It’s actually close to the boarder of Austria. If you go there, hopfensee and Lechfall is also recommended to visit. Hopfensee: specially for the sunset. Overall, it’s one of the most beautiful view I have ever seen in Bavaria till now.

Absolutely stunning. Great place for canooing or sailing or just a chill day at the shore

It's the best place on earth

Gorgeous lake in south Bavaria with beautiful mountain views in the back and clean waters! Indeed a great place to enjoy a relaxing walk!

Very nice place with a great view of Alps.. Recommended for a nice walk around the lake during winter time and obviously to swim during summer time 🏔 🌊

Calm, peaceful and the view at its best. A picturesque place with the view of Neuschwanstein Castle amidst the Alps. ❤

Unusual place we end up..there was a wedding going on..beautiful area and you can see a famous castle from there

The most captivating aspect of this church is its picturesque setting. It stands alone in an expansive meadow, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The nearby Tegelberg mountain and the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle add to the dramatic scenery. In autumn, the fields around the church are often blanketed in mist, creating an ethereal and almost mystical ambiance. Notable trails in the area: 1. St. Coloman to Neuschwanstein Castle • Distance: 4 km one way • Difficulty: Easy to Moderate This trail takes you from the church through picturesque meadows and forests to the iconic castle. The trail is well-marked and offers breathtaking views of the castle as you approach. Along the way, you’ll also get to enjoy panoramic vistas of the surrounding Alps and Hohenschwangau Castle. 2. Schwansee Lake Loop • Distance: 6 km • Difficulty: Easy This loop trail circles around the tranquil Schwansee Lake, located near the church. The trail is mostly flat and passes through serene woodlands and open fields. It’s a great option for a leisurely walk to take in the views of the surrounding mountains. 3. Hohenschwangau to St. Coloman • Distance: 2.5 km one way • Difficulty: Easy This short, easy trail connects the village of Hohenschwangau with St. Coloman Church. It’s a gentle walk that passes through meadows and offers excellent views of Hohenschwangau Castle and the surrounding hills. It’s perfect for families or anyone looking for a relaxed stroll. 4. Schwangau Panoramic Trail • Distance: 7 km (4.3 miles) loop • Difficulty: Moderate This loop trail offers some of the best panoramic views of the Schwangau area, including the castles, lakes, and mountains. Starting near the church, the trail takes you through varied terrain, including fields, forests, and hilltops. The route is well-marked and provides several vantage points for photography and sightseeing.

St. Coloman is absolutely stunning! The church itself is beautiful, and the surrounding scenery is breathtaking, with the Alps providing a perfect backdrop. If you look off into the distance, you can even see the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle from afar – it’s a sight to behold! For those who don't have a car or own a vehicle, the public transport system is really convenient, making it easy to get to the area. Plus, if you’re in need of some refreshments, the nearby Rewe Supermarkt is a great stop. There's also a lovely café inside Rewe serving delicious cakes, coffee, and hot chocolate – perfect for a cozy break while enjoying the view. Highly recommend visiting!

A small beautiful church located in a very serence area with a view of the Neuschwanstein up in the mountains.

I saw this church from Neuschwanstein and went there after castle visiting. It was half hour way to walk. The view of the castle and mountains were incredible. But unfortunately church was closed;) It’s open only SUMMER!!!!!!! Didn’t know that🤦‍♂️ I got the reason come back here

Very nice church in a beautiful setting

This lake is meant not for tourists and photos, but for a quiet walk or family picnic. You can go jogging around and even swim, as there are a few specially equipped entrances to the water. Go find pink water lilies before the sunset!

The diving platforms makes this lake much more fun !

Great walk in the nice and quite area

The place has a very relaxed and calm atmosphere. You can occassionally see family of swans in the lake. You can enjoy a picnic beside the lake or go on a paddle boat ride. This is such a wonderful place to be in and please do preserve the beauty of nature and don't leave your trash please :) You will all love it here!

It's odd that a well-known website like yours would combine images of Alpsee and Schwansee. Because of this, when users publish something here, they frequently confuse the placement of their posts. On the route from Fussen to the Hohenschwangau Castle, Schwansee is situated below the castle and is a part of Schwansee Park. What you are displaying in your main image is the Alpsee, a different lake that can be seen minutes from the tour ticket counter and close to Hohenschwangau Castle.

We went here on a bike tour with Mike's Bikes. Was a nice ride and great scenery.

Amazing lake overlooking the Neuschwanstein dream castle

Popular place, might take a while to find parking, but a nice lake, good for paddle boarding.

Excellent!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful historical journey into the Roman baths past. Directly at the ski area. Parking available directly in front. Entry free. Recommended, short holiday facet of our ski holiday. (Original) Schöne historische Reise in die römische Bäder-Vergangenheit. Direkt am Skigebiet. Parkmöglichkeit direkt davor. Eintritt kostenlos. Empfehlenswerte, kurze Urlaubsfacette unseres Skiurlaubs.

(Translated by Google) For me as a Latin student, it is very interesting to see a Roman building at such a height (almost 1000m above sea level). Only the lower parts of the wall of the old villa remain, but these illustrate the size of the villa quite well... If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit (entry is free). (Original) Für mich als Lateinschüler ist es sehr interessant ein Gebäude, der Römer auf so einer Höhe zu sehen (knapp 1000m üNN). Von der alten Villa sind zwar nur noch die unteren Teile der Mauer vorhanden, aber diese veranschaulichen die Größe der Villa recht gut... Wenn man Mal in der Nähe ist, lohnt sich ein Besuch auf jeden Fall (der Eintritt ist kostenlos)..

(Translated by Google) Free and covered. Discovered by chance. You can clearly see the outline of the villa and there are some signs with explanations in German. (Original) Gratis en overdekt. Bij toeval ondekt. Je kan goed de omtrekken van de villa zien en er staan wat borden met uitleg in het duits.

(Translated by Google) Impressive, well-preserved remains of a pre-Alpine villa rustica. You can see the partially reconstructed foundation walls of the bathing building, whose magnificent frescoes are now preserved by the State Archaeological Collection in Munich. The remains of a kiln belonging to the villa can also be viewed. The house itself was sacrificed for the construction of the Tegelbergbahn. It is to be hoped that further sites of this type in Füssen will be preserved and made accessible in the future. (Original) Eindrucksvolle, gut konservierte Baureste einer voralpenländischen Villa rustica. Zu sehen sind die teilrekonstruierten Grundmauern des Badegebäudes, dessen prächtige Fresken heute durch die Archäologische Staatssammlung in München erhalten werden. Zudem können die Reste einer zur Villa gehörenden Darre besichtigt werden. Das Wohnhaus selber wurde dem Bau der Tegelbergbahn geopfert. Es ist zu hoffen, daß auch künftig weitere Fundstätten dieser Art im Füssener erhalten und zugänglich gemacht werden.

(Translated by Google) From the ruins you can get a good picture of what the baths once looked like and how they were used. There are also information boards in various places that provide information about this. (Original) Man kann anhand der Ruine ein gutes Bild davon bekommen wie die Bäder früher einmal aussahen und wie sie genutzt wurden. Darüber informieren auch an verschiedenen Stellen angebrachte Infotafeln.

(Translated by Google) Nice to see when you're nearby. Entry is free (Original) Schön anzusehen wenn man in der Nähe ist. Der Eintritt ist kostenlos
