Falkenstein Castle Ruins

Ruins already have their charm. But when they stand spectacularly on a mountain and offer an unobstructed all-round view – amazing. We had beautiful light in the late afternoon and a great view. You can't get enough of the sights: royal castles, the Ostallgäu lake district, endless mountains, valleys, the Vils and more.

And afterwards you can still stop off very well below and continue to enjoy the view with delicious food and drink.

Even King Ludwig liked to stay here. Great vantage point.

If you are planning a little excursion, where you should be offered a lot and good weather is predicted, you should plan to visit Falkenstein. At the top of the castle ruins, a magnificent panoramic view awaits you in the Ostallgäu mountains and lake landscape. Culinary (Burghotel Falkenstein) and spiritual (Mariengrotte) is also offered. Highly recommended.

You can also start up by car. As toll road, you have to pay 4 € at the bottom of the machine and wait until the traffic light turns green. Downhill is always on the hour + 10 minutes.
