O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Površinom od 15,2 km² najveće je alpsko akumulaciono jezero u Njemačkoj. Svake zime se ispušta, a u proljeće ponovo puni, što otkriva dunavski put i ostatke rimskih puteva na njegovom dnu.

Istaknuto: Kada voda zimi opadne, pojavi se davno potopljeni rimski most i srednjovjekovni temelji, kao da se na četiri mjeseca vratio vjekovima izgubljeni svijet. Svakog proljeća gledate kako se nivo vode diže 2 metra dnevno i proždire stari put i livade, dok jezero ponovo ne dostigne svoj ljetni izgled.

Insajderski savjeti

Instead of the overcrowded viewpoint near Neuschwanstein, go to the southern shore near the village of Steinbach. From there you have the castles in perfect symmetry without the crowds.
You can best enjoy the water from a paddleboard or kayak rented at the Füssen harbor, where there is also a free beach.
If you come in October, you will see the dramatic draining of the lake and exposed historical pathways.
The cycling path around the lake is 25 km long and you can find a bike rental right at the harbor.
