It is impressive when you can see the two castles from the lower end of the lake when the visibility is good.
Dog owners should remember that there are gratings at the lower end of the lake to overflow and they cannot be bypassed, so the dog should be able to or he must be carried.

Hiked around the Alpsee today in the most glorious imperial weather in the Ostallgäu. Only a few tourists compared to the rest. Relax and give your soul a rest.

I got the tour from Siggis Allgäu hiking collection. Today was perfect weather for that.
Unfortunately I accidentally stopped the tour recording in Hohenschwangau. The 1.9 km back to the parking lot are therefore not recorded.

Nice hike around the Alpsee 😁 (my Garmin had a really bad day today 🥵 ... the recording was constantly stopped and had to be restarted manually. As a result, some things were not recorded 😠. The length of the route was 7.25 km and the duration was 1 :57 hours)
