1 Füssen Boat trips on Lake Forggensee The romantic soul of Bavaria 1 st June until 15 th October 2018

2 Lake Forggensee Today lake Forggensee is considered as one of the most beautiful areas for watersport and leisure time activities in the bavarian alpine foothills. Waterlovers can try out a different bay every day. Surfers, yachtsmen, fishermen and boatsmen will also find perfect conditions. A very special experience is a canoe-sunset-tour. Hikers and cyclists will like the 32 kilometre circular route around the lake. What you don t see when the largest lake of the Allgäu region is at its full water level, is that it is an artificial lake that was created after the war. In spring 1954 the lake Lech with its length of 12 kilometres and its width of 3 kilometres was dammed up for the first time. The alternate damming in spring and water release in autumn decreases the danger of flooding after the melting of the snow and regulates the water flow at the hydroelectric power stations along the river Lech. Allow yourself a special see-trip : the further the ship leaves the southern lakeshore the more magnificent is the panoramic view of the imposing mountains of the Ammergau, Lechtal and Tannheim alps, the kings castles Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau and the silhouette of the town of Füssen. The two boats of the Forggensee shipping company of Füssen sail a regular service with round trips of two different lengths from 1 st June until 15 th October. The small round trip in the southern part of the lake takes about one hour. The large round trip takes two hours and takes its passengers to the dam which is located on the northern shore. It is possible to interrupt the journey at any stop for a lunch or coffee break. Walks, hikes and cycle-tours around Lake Forggensee can also be combined with part of the journey on board bicycles can be carried on board in limited numbers with a small additional charge.
