4Füssen: Gateway to Neuschwanstein Castle
Located in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, Füssen is a charming town that serves as the gateway to one of Germany’s most famous landmarks—Neuschwanstein Castle. While the nearby castle often steals the spotlight, Füssen itself is a beautiful town that deserves its own recognition.
With its colorful houses, narrow streets, and baroque architecture, Füssen exudes old-world charm. The town’s riverside setting, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and crystal-clear lakes, adds to its appeal. The historic Hohes Schloss (High Castle), which offers stunning views of the town and surrounding Alps, is a must-visit. Füssen is also an ideal base for exploring the nearby castles and enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling.
