Hoards of tourists wander into Füssen everyday to make their way to the lavish castles of König Ludwig II, of which, two that are well worth the visit lie a short bus ride from Füssen.

There are at least 17 crags in the Füssen area, making it possibly the section with the highest concentration of climbs in the Allgäu/Bayerisch Schwaben area. Take a break and enjoy time in Hohenschwangau where people and castle watching is rich.

There are two huts in the area maintained by the DAV Sektion Füssen. Click here for info: alpenverein-fuessen.de/html… also check this site for info on the climbing community in Füssen.
