The Forggensee is with its 15.2 square kilometers the fifth largest lake in Bavaria and the largest reservoir in Germany. The bike path around the lake is fully developed and is one of the most traveled bike paths D.eutschlands, on a nice weekend you should choose another of the 1200 km bike paths in Ostallgäu. The lake is freely accessible all around, the entire bank area is state property.

The view across Lake Forggensee to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles is a magical panorama that perfectly captures the beauty of Bavaria. In the foreground you can see the calm, turquoise waters of Lake Forggensee, framed by rolling hills and green meadows. Behind them rise the majestic Allgäu Alps, in which the two famous castles are nestled.

Neuschwanstein Castle, with its tall towers and fairytale appearance, sits on a hill and almost seems to float above the forests and mountains. Not far away is the slightly more modest but equally historic Hohenschwangau Castle, easily recognizable by its yellow facade. On a clear day, especially in summer, the entire panorama is reflected in the smooth surface of Lake Forggensee, making the view even more impressive.

September 10, 2024,Runde um den Forggensee mit Abstecher zu den Schneebällen
In the morning ☔️, in the afternoon with 🌞 and ☁️ the tour around the Forggensee, always beautiful. The Forggensee is celebrating its 70th birthday this year. It is the largest reservoir in Bavaria, but it has no water in the autumn/winter, only to be filled again in the spring by melting snow and rain.
Unfortunately, the path directly along …

Today we drove to Füssen in the morning. From there we will start our tour tomorrow along the Via Claudia Augusta and the Etsch in South Tyrol, which we will accompany to Lake Garda. Arrived in Füssen, we took a look at the pretty old town and found it far too crowded...😄...so grabbed our bikes as planned and off to …

What a great late summer day...

Today I wanted to take it easy on my feet and rented an e-bike from Bike Füssen.

I did the whole thing online, including payment, the day before.

It was totally uncomplicated, the bike was there ready to go, including a cell phone holder and helmet...all without any defects.

Day 1 in the Allgäu and day 1 by bike. To get used to it, we chose a fairly easy route and cycled around Lake Forggensee. We stopped off at our favorite café in Waltenhofen for some delicious cake. We were also lucky with the weather, as the sun spoiled us most of the time. Let's wait and see how …

A very nice tour that gives a lot even with a cloudy sky. Easy with the e-bike. Otherwise a bit exhausting, especially when it's hot. take breaks.
