Fussen

Set along the Lech at the northern foot of the Allgäu Alps, Füssen is a town whose character has been shaped by its position between Alpine routes and the Bavarian plain. Its old centre rises beneath the late-Gothic Hohes Schloss, once the summer residence of the prince-bishops of Augsburg; the building now houses a branch of the Bavarian State Painting Collections. Füssen also has a long tradition of lute and violin making, reflected in the Museum of the City of Füssen in the former St Mang Abbey. The Forggensee lies just north of town, while Neuschwanstein Castle stands at nearby Hohenschwangau.
