Schwangau

Tucked along the Lech in the northern foothills of the Bavarian Alps, Schwangau is a place whose character is shaped by its lakes, wooded slopes and Alpine setting. The village is closely associated with Neuschwanstein, the elaborate 19th-century castle commissioned by King Ludwig II, which rises above the nearby Alpsee. Hohenschwangau Castle, where Ludwig spent much of his childhood, stands nearby and recalls the region’s royal past. Paths and cycling routes lead through the open Lech valley, while the mountains form a constant presence beyond the meadows.
