View of the Forggensee and the Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the beautiful rest area you have a picturesque view of the large, shimmering blue reservoir and the surrounding Alps. The rest area is equipped with simple seating, ideal for a break in nature, and there are accesses to the water.

The Forggensee is with its 15.2 square kilometers the fifth largest lake in Bavaria and the largest reservoir in Germany. The bike path around the lake is fully developed and is one of the most traveled bike paths D.eutschlands, on a nice weekend you should choose another of the 1200 km bike paths in Ostallgäu. The lake is freely accessible all around, the entire bank area is state property.

42.8 km

The view across Lake Forggensee to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles is a magical panorama that perfectly captures the beauty of Bavaria. In the foreground you can see the calm, turquoise waters of Lake Forggensee, framed by rolling hills and green meadows. Behind them rise the majestic Allgäu Alps, in which the two famous castles are nestled.

Neuschwanstein Castle, with its tall towers and fairytale appearance, sits on a hill and almost seems to float above the forests and mountains. Not far away is the slightly more modest but equally historic Hohenschwangau Castle, easily recognizable by its yellow facade. On a clear day, especially in summer, the entire panorama is reflected in the smooth surface of Lake Forggensee, making the view even more impressive.

This is my absolute favorite tour. From Roßhaupten to the Lech north, then on the other side of the Lech back to Forggensee, along the east bank to Neuschwanstein Castle, then to Füssen up to Alatsee, down to Weißensee and via Hopfensee back to Forggensee and on the west bank back to Rosthaupten. A scenic dream.

We've been in the Ostallgäu for a few days now and today we cycled around Lake Forggensee in the best 🌞 weather. 🚲
Lake Forggensee is definitely worth a trip; if you have the opportunity, you should visit the lake and cycle there. It's worth it, and there are no particular challenges to overcome.
The nearby mountains and the turquoise …
