Hohenschwangau

Hohenschwangau lies beside Alpsee in Bavaria, Germany, where the wooded foothills of the Bavarian Alps meet a small lake basin below rugged peaks. The settlement is inseparable from two royal residences: Hohenschwangau Castle, rebuilt in the 19th century for Crown Prince Maximilian of Bavaria, and Neuschwanstein, commissioned by his son King Ludwig II high above the village. Ludwig spent part of his childhood at Hohenschwangau, while Neuschwanstein became one of Germany’s most recognisable historicist landmarks. Paths around Alpsee and the castles connect the village to the wider Allgäu mountain country.
