Füssen is a town in Bavaria, Germany, in the district of Ostallgäu, situated one kilometre from the Austrian border. The town is known for violin manufacturing and as the closest transportation hub for the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles. As of 2020-12-31, the town has a population of 15,538. Füssen in Allgäu is an enchanting town in the south of Bavaria, Germany, known for the Hohes Schloss and its Basilica and former Benedictine monastery of St Mang. The world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle is situated a few kilometers to the east.
Some visitors come to tour the castles and leave immediately afterward, leaving the beautiful little town unexplored. This is a great pity as there is much to see in Füssen and the surrounding area if you know what you are looking for! There are magnificent lakes with beautiful views and the “Kalvarienberg” which has the “Stations of the Cross” on it.
