Forggensee MTB Trail

The King Ludwig Panorama Trail, with a magnificent view of Neuschwanstein Castle, is a wonderful starting point and a powerful foretaste of the many mountain panoramas the tour offers: heading south towards Füssen City, the Lech crossing offers a beautiful view of the city. Along the grill mile from Waltenhofen-North, you look across Lake Forggensee at peaks of the Thannheimer and Pfronten mountains. Behind lush green meadow hills, contrast-rich snow-covered peaks rise in the east of the lake in winter/spring. Hergatsrieder and Schapfensee lighten up the tour until the Illasbergsee, an offshoot of Lake Forggensee, is reached in the north. At the west end of Illasbergsee, a detour south to the north shore of Forggensee is worth it. From there, the full splendor of the lake & mountain panorama opens up. Back on the bike path heading west, the Lech reservoir step is crossed and you have the choice between a paved bike path or hiking trail heading south along the west shore of Lake Forggensee, from which the charm of the Neuschwanstein panorama increasingly comes into view and reaches its peak from the promenade in front of the Festspielhaus.
