For example, the Forggensee round about 30 kilometres long, which offers fantastic views of the mountains and the royal castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, is great. From June to mid-October, this tour can even be combined with a boat tour, because then there are two passenger ships on the lake several times a day, which call at different stops and also transport bicycles. In addition, the Allgäu offers crisp trails through meadows and forests for mountain bikers and steep passes for racing cyclists. Long-distance cycle paths such as the Lake Constance-Königssee cycle path and the Allgäu cycle circuit promise very special experiences.

The Forggensee is ideal for sailing, while windsurfing and kite surfing are also very popular on the Hopfensee and Weißensee. Lake Hopfensee, which is right on the doorstep of your holiday home, also has boat hire and water sports schools that hire out equipment and offer courses in, for example, stand-up paddling and windsurfing.
Winter sports
