The Alpsee is a 1.9 km long lake in Bavaria in the district Ostallgäu. It has a circumference of 4.70 km and belongs to the municipality Schwangau. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the royal castles Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein directly at the foot of the mountain Säuling. Two kilometers northwest of the lake lies the city of Füssen, 450 meters further south is the Austrian border. 400 meters north of the Alpsee is the smaller lake Schwansee.

The Alpsee is considered one of the cleanest lakes in Germany. Today it is used by locals as well as tourists in the summer as a bathing lake in a specially created bathing establishment (Alpseebad, on the south bank). There is also a boathouse, where pedal boats and rowboats can be rented. In sufficient cold, the lake is also used in winter for ice skating.

The lake is located in the landscape protection area of landscape parts in the area of the Faulenbacher valley, the Lech valley, the Swanseetal and the Alpsee area in the district of Füssen (LSG-00078.01). [1]

The lake is property of the Free State of Bavaria, the Wittelsbacher Ausgleichsfonds is tenant of the lake.

The Alpsee (about 62m deep) near Hohenschwangau impresses with its blue clear water. In addition to an outdoor pool and the resident boat rental, the lake offers a light Alpine circular walk with a length of about 6km! The hiking trail is "not suitable for wheelchairs, strollers or bicycles"! It always goes back over rough stones, big roots and small bridges with grid floor, mountain up and down! The view is breathtaking and you get a glimpse of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwanstein here and there!
