Hohenschwangau castle overlooks the village of the same name on the shore of the idyllic Alpsee.
Located close to Fussen in the south of Bavaria, Hohenschwangau (a district of Schwangau) is the place to stay when you visit the royal castles of King Ludwig II.The area around Schwangau and Fussen is called Königswinkel (king's nook), and Schwangau is also the second-last and Füssen the final town on the southern end of the romantic road.Located in the Allgäu, a favourite holiday region in Germany, Schwangau and Hohenschwangau offer much more to visitors than the castles.
