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!

The Ahornreitweg is the counterpart to the Schutzengelweg. He is about 14km with an up / down of good 911Hm. The nature tour leads first on an alpine path with valley view in the middle of the mountains. Later, the path turns into gentler paths and passes the restaurant "Bleckenau". If you like, you can take the bus back to the Tegelbahn via Hohenschwangau. Or the route to walk. If you decide to walk, you will pass the mountain river and the Marinbrücke near Neuschwanstein.
