The hotel is directly on the lake shore, so it was great to just go to the hotel's bathhouse and swim in the lake from there. Lovely cocktails and food at the hotel. The hotel is very dog friendly, which we love and the staff is really nice

Right size rooms with classic style interior. Two bottles of their own produced beer is a gift for the guests that we appreciated a lot. Room and bed was comfortable. The restaurant is super, extremely delicious and nice range of meals offered. We loved the beer (and the gin) and the possibility to purchase meant that we left with great packages.

The location of Hotel Alatsee is absolutely stunning. Being right by the lake creates a peaceful, almost magical atmosphere, especially in autumn. The room was spotless, cozy, and very comfortable, with great attention to detail that made our stay feel truly special. Breakfast was excellent - fresh, delicious, and enjoyed with beautiful views, which made every morning start perfectly.

We were only there to see the castle.

We were only there to see the castle. It was a very quick trip so we really didn't explore Fussen. We were there in December, so it was cold and snowy, which was magical and we loved, but didn't spend time outdoors other than seeing the castle. I am sure summertime is much better season to see this darling town!

A beautifully maintained town with an authentic Bavarian vibe and excellent dining! It is super convenient to reach, sitting right at the end of a DB train line. I went specifically for the paragliding and loved the setup: there are three cable-car-accessible launch sites and a main landing zone just a couple hundred meters from the base (with other spots available for emergency landings). It's also a famous winter sports hub as the home of the historic Schattenberg Ski Jump (1925) and a major venue for the Four Hills Tournament. Because it clearly draws massive winter crowds, visiting in April or May is the absolute perfect sweet spot between the busy ski season and the summer holidays.

What a lovely place to have some coffee in a street cafe on a sunny weekend! The walk in the Old Town was marvelous. If you need specialist shops like we did or have any other work to do at the outskirts of the town, no worries - everything is easily accessible by foot of public transport. For lunch, we went to the Trachtenheim Restaurant at Römerstraße 2, which was worth every step we have made! Having traditional German lunch where locals meet and eat is all a short-term visitor can ask for (see pictures attached.)

[12:18] Orecny Peter Worst apt. where I was. Dirty and smell. Key box on the ground behind trash can and you will be have a problem with open the key box, because of rust and in a rain also wet. Problem with parking and no internet connection. This place is for animal not for human. Dirty socks front of the door. Used dishes and leave it in kitchen. If you open the fridge, you have a fiiling that there died some animal, not for food. Best thing it was hole in the wall, where you can see out of the apt. and it was not possible to cover somehow. It was fck cold inside, because od this hole. The kitchen is unusable, I don't understand how they can rent it without cleaning, they leave a used fork there. Bathroom, same story, dirty, dust and mold. Go away from here. [12:18] Orecny Peter Nothing was good. I can only say, go away from here or do not make a reservation here. This apt. is really only for animal. Location, not good, problem with the parking. Not internet conection.

I did not enter any of the castles or museums. I had done that 50 years ago, as a student in Munich. I liked just walking around, soaking up the tourist vibe, predominantly Chinese. I even liked the rainy-sunny mix of weather, so characteristic of the Allgaue region.

The accommodation suited me well.

The accommodation suited me well. I spent most days visiting local places of interest and particularly liked Lindau (on the Bodensee), Wangen im Allgäu, a fascinating old town with a brilliant market (Wednesdays), gorgeous old buildings and interesting street sculptures and fountains, as well as a very varied and entertaining museum, partly housed in the town walls. Lindau is well worth a visit and is quite elegant with a Mediterranean feel and some interesting shops, as well as the Old Rathaus and buildings round the buzzing harbour. Tettnang is also worth a visit if one is interested in history and architecture. An outing into the mountains further east is also worthwhile, with walks and other excursions (cable car) around the charming little town of Oberstaufen. Views of the Austrian Alps and the alpine flowers make it worth the effort, if you enjoy rambling. This is a good centre for a wide variety of activities.

Füssen is not a typical mountain town with local atmosphere.

Füssen is not a typical mountain town with local atmosphere. It is a stop-over for most travelers to visit the famous castles pictures in movies. Hundreds of international travelers pour off the train and proceed directly to the buses to visit the castles. Therefore, the feeling in the town is "weird." // Yes, it's a tourist town, but not upscale or posh. The restaurants are overly-priced. I saw numerous street people shuffling thru the streets and going thru the trash cans! // But, the museum in St. Mang monastery was one of the finest museums I've ever visited. // So, the mountains, museums, brilliant sunshine, Old Town architecture were well-worth a visit. However, the surreal lack of local pride and flair in the town was off-putting.
