The Alpsee (approx. 62m deep) near Hohenschwangau impresses with its blue, clear water. In addition to an outdoor swimming pool and the local boat rental, the lake offers an easy alpine circular hiking trail with a length of approx. 6km! The hiking trail is “not suitable for wheelchair users, strollers or bicycles”! Listen again and again over coarse stones, large roots and small bridges with a grid floor, up and down the mountain! The view is breathtaking and you can catch a glimpse of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwanstein here and there!

Although it is in the "shadow" of Neuschwanstein, for me it is another beautiful example of German history.
