The Lake Landscape Around Schwangau

Whatever water fun you like on holiday, all you have to do is pick it. Whether you would like to sail or surf, swim or row, fish or paddle: just help yourself! And sitting quietly by the water is also a blessing for the soul with all these lakes.

  • Lake Forggensee – in the immediate vicinity of the hotel
    This lake is a reservoir and the fifth largest lake in Bavaria. From mid-June to the end of October, it is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. The shore is largely unobstructed and freely accessible. With the Forggensee shipping company you can discover the entire lake with all its special features in summer & autumn.
  • Lake Alpsee
    This lake was King Ludwig’s favourite lake for a swim and attracts everyone with its romance. The lake is located directly at the castles.
  • Lake Bannwaldsee
    It is located in the 560-hectare Ammergebirge nature reserve. An idyllic path leads around the lake, where you can swim or fish. Panoramic view included!
  • Lake Schwansee
    An ideal lake for swimming away from the road and traffic. The lake is not very deep and is known for warming up quickly. With a view of the royal castles, it simply enchants everyone.
  • Lake Hopfensee
    This swimming lake has probably the most beautiful view in the Allgäu. It is not for nothing that the town of Hopfen, where the Hopfensee is located, is also called the Riviera of the Allgäu. The sunbathing lawn with numerous restaurants and cafés stretches along the lakeside promenade.
  • Lake Weißensee
    It shines deep blue with its depth of up to 25m and is romantically embedded directly at the mountains. Numerous hiking tours can be started from there.
  • Lake Alatsee
    This lake gives the impression of being on holiday by the sea with its clear water and partly turquoise water. The mountain lake lies in a small depression and is surrounded by mountains.
Trail Geopfad Pfronten – For Professionals

Mountains are our geological heritage. The trail Geopfad Pfronten is an extended full-day tour that can also be divided into three half-day stages. The Geopfad is not intended to teach, but to inform. It gives an impression of the uniqueness and beauty of this landscape. Nature can inspire and background knowledge helps to appreciate our environment with different eyes.

25 years of experience with bike rental and tour programmes distinguish the team of the former professional cyclist Markus Hess.

Forggensee Shipping Company

With a length of 12 kilometres and a width of 3 kilometres, Lake Forggensee surpasses all other lakes in the Allgäu region and, with an water surface of 16 km², it is the fourth largest lake in Bavaria. It was first created in the 1950s as a reservoir for the Lech River. It serves as a head reservoir for the hydroelectric power plants downstream from the Lech River and is important for flood control, especially in spring when the Lech River carries a lot of water after the snow melts. The special thing about Lake Forggensee is that it is only fully dammed in summer from June to mid-October. During this time, no one can imagine that it is not a natural lake, as it fits so perfectly into the landscape.

Golf Course Auf der Gsteig

Our 18-hole partner golf course “Auf der Gsteig” is beautifully integrated into the Allgäu mountain and lake landscape. Essential for every golfer! You can get your green fee voucher at our reception, with it you can always golf at a more favourable rate. Please note that during the week and especially at the weekends, a tee time must be reserved. You can already inform our reception from home or at short notice on site in the hotel. We will be happy to reserve your desired tee time for you so that nothing stands in the way of a perfect day of golf.
