The Königswinkel or literally Kings Corner is a large area of natural beauty that includes Castle Neuschwanstein. It includes the towns of Füssen and Schwangau as well as Pfronten and the resort village on Lake Hopfensee.   We also include Reutte and the charming Austrian villages on the ancient Roman Road - Via Claudia Augusta.   Fairytale castle Neuschwanstein built by King Ludwig II and Neo-Gothic Castle Hohenschwangau built by Maximilian II, Ludwigs father are world famous. There are several mountain top castle ruins that are also well worth a visit. Falkenstein, Eisenberg and the Ehrenberg Castle Ruins in the nearby Tyrolean Alps are also well worth a visit.

You will find spectacular mountain views everywhere as well as plenty to do: Castle crawling, swimming in crystal clear lakes, hiking (or walking) along mountain nature trails, biking, and sailing (or boat rowing) to name a few.   A lot of Germans take their wellness - health vacations here.  In the Winter the ski areas around Reutte and Pfronten are outstanding.   Of course, you can escape from it all and find a wealth of natural beauty and solitude, summer or winter. Don't stop with only a visit to Castle Neuschwanstein. The Neuschwanstein area is the most nautrally beautiful area in Germany (back)
