Itinerary

Enjoy initial rays of sunshine either on the terrace of the hotel or during a stroll along the lakeside.

Bavaria’s fifth largest lake is on the agenda today. With the best view onto the surrounding mountains you leisurely cycle along Lake Forggensee. You enjoy the most stunning mountain view at the ‚Panoramastadel‘ located shortly before Lake Illasbergsee. Again and again you have wonderful opportunities to swim in the lake. Particularly idyllic is swimming in Lake Hegratsrieder See before you cycle via Füssen back to your accommodation.

On the tour you are accompanied by the impressive and wild-romantic Allgäu pre-alpine valleys. From Lake Weißensee you initially proceed to Pfronten and from there via dirt- and forest paths into the Vilstal-valley. Past the Kälberhofalpe-alp you reach the Tannheim valley, which is considered one of the most stunning high-alpine valleys of the Northern Alps. After that a comfortable long descent leads you through the Enge- and Achtal-valleys back to Pfronten and Lake Weißensee.

Along the lakeside of Lake Weißensee you cycle initially to Lake Alatsee and along the Faulenbach-stream to Füssen with its fascinating historic centre. You proceed along the trail of the Bavarian fairytale king to Hohenschwangau. Here Louis‘ most spectacular building, Neuschwanstein Castle, is towering located on a ledge over the valley. You will be no less impressed by Hohenschwangau Castle en route to Lake Alpsee, which features a marvellous location.

The Allgäu region is world-renowned for its cheese specialities. Today’s cycle tour connects five small cheese factories, which still make the Allgäu Emmentale- cheese and the Bergkäse-cheese from regional milk sources in a traditional manner. A tasting of these culinary specialities is of course a must. The cycle path leads you past cow pastures and through farming hamlets to Seeg with its lovely Rococo-church. In addition to cuisine and culture another beautiful bathing spot awaits at the Schwaltenweiher-pond.

From Lake Weißensee you initially cycle to Lake Hopfensee with its castle ruin. The next highlights await with the castle at Hopferau and the pilgrimage church Mariahilf. With a view onto Germany’s highest situated castle grounds, Falkenstein castle ruin, you proceed through the Tyrolean Vilstal-valley past Vilsegg castle ruin. On your return journey you cycle along the Lech-cycle path towards Füssen and back to your hotel.

After breakfast, individual return journey or start of your extension in Augsburg.

Hotels

Boutique Hotel Dreimäderlhaus Füssen

★ ★ ★ S

This very personally run boutique hotel is located directly on the shores of Lake Weissensee and is a vegetarian-vegan hotel. From the inviting sun terrace, you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the lake and the surrounding mountains. Each of the 13 rooms is dedicated to a specific theme. One is playful, the other elegantly alpine. What they all have in common is that you are guaranteed to feel at home. The Comfort rooms face the lake. The Standard rooms are located on the side or facing the street.

The wonderful location on the lake and the warm hospitality are hallmarks of the hotel and you will experience this tradition of ‘feeling good’ and ‘belonging’ at first hand every day. The excellent vegetarian-vegan breakfast with exclusively regional, often home-made, tasty ingredients is also a feast for the senses. After an active day, you will be happy to return to the perfect starting point for your cycle tour.
