Package holiday to Fuessen

Füssen in the Allgäu is the city of royal castles and the southern end of the Romantic Road — Germany's most famous holiday route, which stretches over 460 kilometers from Würzburg to here. The small town with 15,000 inhabitants is situated at an altitude of 808 meters, surrounded by alpine peaks, turquoise-blue lakes, and dense forests.

Neuschwanstein Castle, just four kilometers from Füssen, is the most visited castle in Germany and the inspiration for the Disney castle: King Ludwig II commissioned it in 1869 as a fairy-tale residence in neo-Romanesque style. The splendid rooms with their Wagner scenes, the throne hall, and the singers' hall are of overwhelming splendor. Opposite lies Hohenschwangau Castle, the yellow summer residence of Ludwig II, where he discovered his love for Richard Wagner and German legends.

Füssen's old town itself is a gem: The High Castle above the town possesses one of the best-preserved late Gothic illusion paintings in Bavaria — the painted facades deceive the eye with bay windows, windows, and architectural details that do not actually exist. The St. Mang Monastery, founded in the 9th century, houses the oldest Bavarian Dance of Death (1602) and baroque state rooms.

The Forggensee near Füssen is the largest reservoir in Germany and offers boat trips in summer with views of the royal castles and the Alps. The Lechfall Gorge on the outskirts, where the Lech cascades through a narrow limestone gorge, is an impressive natural spectacle — accessible via the König-Max Bridge.

Füssen also has a significant musical history: The town was the center of lute making in Europe in the 16th century, and the Füssen lute makers laid the foundation for European instrument making.

Fuessen particularly impresses with fascinating culture, breathtaking nature, family-friendly offers. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
