Fussen

Füssen is a small, picturesque and fairytale town in Bavaria, about one kilometer from the Austrian border, which has historically been an important center for violin making. It takes about two hours to get there by train from Munich and even if you don’t stay overnight, it is a must stop on most bus tours that take tourists to the castles of Neuschwanstein (the castle that inspired Walt Disney) and Hohenschwangau.

Accommondation – During our stay in Füssen, it was arranged to stay at the 4-star Luipoldpark Hotel, literally a step from the bus station for the castle. Our room was a circular tower overlooking the High Castle and the beautiful city of Füssen.
