One of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Allgäu! To the north, the hilly Alpine foothills spread out at your feet, and to the south, steep mountains rise dramatically above the Alpsee. But you only realize the dimensions when you see how tiny the famous Neuschwanstein Castle appears against the dramatic mountain backdrop.

The Füssen Calvary unites in a special way religion, nature and art (the Nazarene). The Calvary was built in the 19th century. Initiator was the then parish priest Johann Baptist Graf (1802-1862). Graf's religious life was in the tradition of Johann Michael Sailer and Christoph von Schmid. When Hohenschwangau Castle was renovated and redesigned, many painters found work in the castle and later in the design of the chapels.
