Water fun in the Allgäu region

King Ludwig II chose the most beautiful part of Bavaria for his Neuschwanstein Castle. In the shadow of the royal castles, the municipality of Schwangau has created a truly royal crystal spa for its guests. You will experience a royal atmosphere that continues the bathing dreams of the fairy-tale king. The architecture of the baths picks up on highlights of the design of the royal castles and combines them with the most modern and highest standards of bathing culture. Fifteen tons of precious and semi-precious stones decorate the thermal baths and sauna area in accordance with the healing teachings of the world saint Hildegard von Bingen. Neuschwanstein Castle can be seen from every area of the pools. Just behind the thermal baths lies the beautiful Lake Forggensee, the fourth largest lake in the Allgäu region.

Lake Forggensee delights visitors with sweeping views of the Alps and a wide range of leisure activities on and around the water. Whether swimming at the beaches, stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, or enjoying a relaxing boat trip – you'll feel like you're on vacation here. The lake exudes a special charm in winter when the water level is lowered. That's when the lake basin transforms into a vast, impressive winter landscape with unobstructed views of the snow-covered Alps and the royal castles. Perfect for long walks, winter hikes, or cross-country skiing. The clear air, tranquility, and panoramic views make Lake Forggensee a special nature experience during the cold season – quiet, vast, and simply beautiful.
