Alpsee
The Alpsee is a lake at Hohenschwangau in the municipality of Schwangau, Bavaria, lying directly below Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein castles.
Why go
The Alpsee is a lake at Hohenschwangau in the municipality of Schwangau. Schwangau's tourist office describes it as 62 metres deep and lying directly below the royal castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, and the Hohenschwangau castle website describes a circular footpath around it. This record is the lake itself: its map point is the middle of the water, not a shore path, a bathing place or a boat landing. It lies in Schwangau, not in Füssen, which XTOUR treats as a base for it.
