Swan Lake Circular Trail

Parkingplace Schwansee

The landscape around Swan Lake at the foot of Hohenschwangau Castle welcomes you with surreality. Being declared a landscape conservation area, the uniqueness atmosphere in this historic park is still clearly noticeable today. From the car park in Alterschrofen, next to the road is a cleared footpath to the lake. Then you walk clockwise along the shore. From the beginning of the walk, you are already spoilt by the beauty of the view of both the castles Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein, plus the striking rocky mountains behind them served to you deliberately from the royal plate. Then the forest swallows you up as the north bank is shady. Furthermore, you can enjoy the sunlit moor meadows and the views of the reed covered bank at the end of the round.
