    The original castle was built in the 13th century and expanded several times. King Ludwig II of Bavaria planned another magnificent castle here, similar to Neuschwanstein, but it never got past the planning stage.

    The ruins offer a spectacular panoramic view of the Allgäu Alps and the landscape. A challenging journey, but very worthwhile.
