View of Lake Hopfensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hopfensee is rightly called "The Bavarian Riviera" and since it is only about 10m deep, the water warms up relatively quickly.
It can be easily circled on foot in about 90 minutes, about 7km

View of the Hopfensee from the ruins of Hopfen Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The circumnavigation of the Hopfensee is beautiful, this detour via the castle complex is nicer. Numerous gems in the forest and great views of the lake!

Hopfen Castle Ruins — View of Lake Hopfensee and the Alps

Highlight • Castle

A slight ascent leads from the lake to the ruins. Castles know almost nothing about the earlier use of the Veste, but it is said to be the oldest castle …

Rainis Faulensee Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A very nice place to rest. Simple but with everything you need. There's also a (water) playground for the kids.

September 30, 2024,Blick auf den Faulensee – Burgruine Hopfen Runde von Hopfen am See🥾🥾👍🐄🏞_8

One day before in Füssen

Directly after breakfast to Hopfen am See before continuing on to Verona.

Nice little circular hike with variety. Lake, alpine pastures with lots of cows, forest, Hopfen castle ruins. And a view of Neuschwanstein Castle from afar. 🥾👍🐄🐂🏞

October 13, 2023,Rundweg von Hopfen zum Koppenkreuz und Faulensee

A wonderful hike that is also recommended on warm days as it contains many forest passages.
It is varied and not too strenuous.
Starting at the parking lot, the route first leads along the promenade.
After crossing the road, the path climbs upwards and turns into an open meadow. The view is fantastically beautiful today.
Next comes a small forest …

October 1, 2023,Burg Hopfen – Blick auf den Faulensee Runde von Hopfen am See

A wonderful hiking tour from the campsite at Hopfensee via the Hopfen am See castle ruins. We continued to Faulensee. You can sit comfortably at the restaurant, but you have to wait a long time for your food. Finally you can enjoy the view of Neuschwanstein Castle.

March 30, 2024,Vom Hopfensee zum Faulensee zurück über die Burg

There were at least narrow paths here. And above all, it was quite deserted compared to the completely overrun Allgäu. But the Allgäu lives from the intoxicating views and the sun. The Sahara sand (and all the other holidaymakers) really spoiled our plans. But neither the tour nor the Allgäu can do anything about that.

September 25, 2022,Wanderung Hopfen am See zum Faulensee und zur Seepromenade

From Hopfen am See it goes via the castle ruins to the beautiful Faulensee and on little-used paths to Hopfen am See back to the lake promenade.
