Hiking

This tour through Füssen's old town is your personal, audio-guided walk through the city's history. Fourteen stops provide insightful information about the city's landmarks. Your starting point is the lively bread market at Schrannenplatz.

You'll visit, among other things, the High Castle of Füssen, a relic of the late Gothic period. The exterior alone is impressive with its position above the city, and exciting illusion paintings await you in the courtyard. Later, you'll reach the Holy Spirit Hospital Church with its colorful facades, which tell a lot about the city's eventful history, from its Gothic origins to its redesign in the 18th century. Nature is also not neglected: Part of the route runs along the Lech River. The river originates in the Alps, shapes the image and life of the city, and connects Füssen via the Lech Valley to the Danube.

The tour is easily accessible by public transport and offers opportunities for short breaks along the way.

Schrannenplatz with baker's fountain

Highlight • Historical Site

This square is also called Schrannenplatz. The Baker's Fountain is also located there. It was built in May 2013 and is dedicated entirely to the theme of bread. Therefore, it stands near the former granary (=Schranne). A farmer, a miller, and a baker sit on a stylized sheaf of grain.

The High Castle in Füssen is one of the most important secular buildings of the German late Gothic period and is a sight not only in its interior: unique illusion paintings can be discovered in the courtyard.

Heilig-Geist-Spitalkirche Füssen

Highlight • Religious Site

The Holy Spirit Hospital Church is located on the Lechhalde near the Old Lech Bridge. Built in the Gothic style in the mid-15th century, it was rebuilt after a fire at the end of the 18th century, modeled on the Franciscan monastery church in Dillingen. The colorful façade also dates from this period.

Lech in Füssen

Highlight • River

It rises near Lake Formarin in Vorarlberg, Austria, then forms one of the last wild river landscapes in Europe – the Lech Valley –, continues via the Lechfall in Füssen to Augsburg and finally flows into the Danube near Rain.
