Alpsee.

From the castles of Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein there is a splendid view of the Alpsee. It covers an area of almost one square kilometre, with just under five kilometres of shoreline and a depth of up to 62 metres. The lake nestles between wooded mountain slopes in an area of unspoilt natural beauty which was already popular in the 19th century – the Bavarian kings built their romantic castles here on sites originally occupied by the strongholds of medieval knights.
