The castle is nice. Scenery of the Austrian Alps is great.

The castles are super touristy and you can only see them on swiftly guided tours
In a nutshell

See the castles during the day, Fussen at night

Brunners: Dont miss the Apfelstrudel
RAINBOWWINGS Says: This lovely little Bistro almost called to us as we approached its doors. Warm and welcoming , friendly staff and HUGE portions of delightful pastries, salads, and hot and cold snacks. The apfelstrudel was to die for. A huge portion with a generous blob of cream followed by...
cjg1 Says: Deutschebahn has a happy weekend ticket for 30 euros that will allow a group of 5 to travel on IRE, RE, RB, and S-bahn trains unlimitedly from noon to 3am Saturdays and Sundays. It is now much more expensive than I remember but its an idea to consider if you are more than a...

CandiceHalee Says: Not really a trap, and probably quite common in touristy areas. Most of the shops in the town of Hohenschwangau sell similar things and can be differnt prices. If you find something you'd like to buy, take note of the shop, then check around the other stores. There are...
iandsmith Says: In a way it's not really an "Off the beaten path" activity as there is a well trod path around this small lake at the base of the alps. It's just that compared to Neuschwanstein and Hohenswhangau, the number of tourists is a trickle.I had wanted to walk around it on my...
iandsmith Says: There is an opportunity to move out onto the old palace walls and then climb one of the towers. Should you choose to do that on a winter's day when it's snowing, you'll be glad the wall was covered! I should warn those who tend to have vertigo attacks that the stairs are...

Fussen - more than a place to stay

"It delivered. In a day and half here I've already walked about 30 kms on some wonderful trails. John take note - I not only walked up to Neuschwanstein once, I returned again after I did the tour of...

This was the fifth day of our weeklong circle trip around Europe. All in all it was an effort to find entertainment and get away from the boat. We arrived on the train from Amsterdam into Munich and...
