Fussen Travel Forum

Hello! I'll be checking out of my hostel before seeing both castles, and eventually moving on to Munich, and I have a feeling I'll need a place to store my bag, in case the hostel won't let me. Does anyone know if the Fuessen Bahnhof has storage lockers?

Thanks!
Anne

Hi,

I understand that driving to the south of Fussen will pass through Austria and is there a need to purchase any permit to drive there? I am only driving around the castles and probably to Linderhof and then Lake Plansee, all in a day. Do I need a GPS?

Regards

hi.
i`ll be south bavaria april 25th(friday) , and i have in mind visit linderholf castle. Once i want to visit others places in the same day, something like 2 hours are enough to visit the castle?

thank`s a lot....luiz claudio(rio de janeiro-brasil)

Hi ,

Just wondering if anybody tried this from Frankfurt to Wurzburg and all the way down to Fussen in a day ?

Then spend the night in Fussen before going to see the castles the next day.

What's your experience like ?
I guess the stops are very short to take photos and have a quick look...if any ?

thanks in advance!

I have booked the castle tour in english tour at 4:45 PM. I'm in a little tight schedule for returning to Munich. As per DB website there is a train leaving from Fuessen at 6.05 PM and its connecting bus from Hohenschwangau is at 5:40 PM. So looks like if the tour starts at the correct time I have a good chance to catch the bus to the Fussen train station. My question is how closely the tour schedule is maintained by the castle tour guides ? And if not are there taxis available to reach the train station. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

I would like to find out if there are any car rental companies in Fussen? Seems like all the websites I hv been do not have an outlet there. Thanks.

Has anyone stayed recently at the Hotel Waldmann in the Fussen area? Actually I guess it's in the village of Schwaugan/Alterschrofen. Would appreciate any feedback good or bad.
Thanks in advance.

Hi

Hi

I am trying to check information of trains from Cologne to Fussen using the DB website. When I enter "Fussen" as the destination, it prompted that "Fussen" yield several possibilities.

Would appreciate help as to what should I pick out of the whole list of possibilities that appear. Is "Fussen Bahnhof" the right one?

Help will be much appreciated.

Hello,
Are there buses/trains from garmisch to fussen thro the day?.
We might finish with garmish/zugspite by end of day (around 6-7pm) and we want to get to fussen/schwangau the same night so that we can see the castles from early next day.
Any pointers appreciated!!!!

thanks!!

Hi,
Can i get to Fussen from amsterdam directly?. Are there any night trains?.
Or do i have to get to Munich from Amsterdam to get to Fussen...any pointers appreciated!!

thanks!!!

On the day I would like to go to fussen and already reserve the hotel room, the train ticket already sold out. Are there other public transport to go to fussen? Or another train station

Hi,

Is it possible to get a bus from Fussen to Oberstdorf? If so, what is the frequency and about how much does it cost? Would I have to book in advance?
It seems to be difficult to travel around that area without going to Munich.
Also, is there a bus that goes from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Fussen?
Many thanks:-)

Hi,

I will be in Munich to attend a conference and have decided to visit the castles for a day. I plan to spend two nights in the area with a whole day in between. What is a better place to base myself - Fuessen or Schwangau. I will not have a car- public transport will be my main mode of transport.

Also, should I book tickets for the castles from their website or is it possible to get them cheaper elsewhere?

Cheers,
Mr Hyde

Does anyone know of any horse riding places for experienced and unexperienced people in the Fuessen/Schwangau area?

Also, I recall seeing a camel farm and know you can ride those, but am unsure how far away from Schwangau it is, as that is where we are staying and we would have to rely on taxi's to get around.

Thanks guys!

What is a cheap way to go from Fussen to Berlin in late September? 6 adults? Train or bus? flights?
Thanks.

My husband and I will be travelling to Germany with our 2 children (8 and 10) in early June. We would like to use Fussen as our base for a few days to explore the castles and surrounding areas. I have narrowed our accommodation choices down to 2 properties - Haus L.A and the Allgauer Hotel. Given that the latter is situated out of Fussen, which would provide us with a better base? Also, which apartment configuration in these properties is better suited to a family? We will have a car so do not need the use of public transport - how far out of Fussen is the Allgauer?

My family (wife and 2 teens) will be travelling from Florence to Fussen in April. Is it possible to drive there in a reasonable amount of time? How about taking a train? Approximately how long of a trip would it be? We would love to see more of the country and rather not fly.

Thanks!!

Hi,

Can anyone recommend any campsites that are in walking distance of the town of Fussen ?

Many Thanks,

Niall.

There are no recommendations under nightlife... Are there any small local pubs of the sort or any other night life?

hello.
I'm lsnding in Munich and I was wondering if I could do the Romantic road (by train, I have Eurail) from Fussen to Wurzberg- I thought of spending one night in Rothenburg and one night in Wurzberg (and continue my trip to Frankfurt)- is that at all possible?

Would you go to Fussen from Munich only for the day?
It is a 2 hours trip and I can not find many trains coming back and forth.
What would you suggest?
The next day I am taking the night train Munich-Koln and therefore it was easier to go for the day to fussen living my bags in the hotel in Munich until the other day at night. Do you know if there are lockers in Munich's train station? Maybe that would be an option.

Please give me some advice!

Thank you in advance!

What are your suggestions for hotels or pensions or bauernhofs near Füssen or Reutte in September for a night a couple in their 60's on a budget?
We can't afford and aren't interested in luxury ... just nice, clean places with our own toilets ... hopefully places with character and a comfortable ambience.

Hi Everyone,
I am planning a trip in April next year and I need to know the following:
Best way to get from Paris to Fussen. To see the castles is it best to stay in Austria, if so what is the easiest and closest place to get me there. Or would we be better off going from Paris to Munich then Fussen. As time is limited I need to know is it Austria or Germany? Any help would be wonderful.

Thanks

Which way is better to visit the 2 castles there , by tour group or by tain myself? I believe by train is cheaper . Any body went there in tour group? how many places will the gauider bring you to?

I'd like to get some shots of the castles without the hoards of people around. Can one walk around the grounds/trails after the tours are over (around 1900)? How close can you get to either of them? (i.e. could I walk to Mary's bridge?) Danke!

I am going back to Southern Germany after nearly twenty years away. I can't remember all the things to see there. I want to show my wife the side of Germany I once saw. Can anyone think of the odd or off the beatin path places around Fussen. I'll be spending 16 days in the south so I have alot of time to explore.
Thanks for you help.

I've read all about Ludwig's castles - and will go and visit. But - the street scenes in Fussen look very appealing....how is the shopping along those quaint streets? Any interesting shops not to miss or bargains to check on?

Does anyone know a good place to rent bikes in fussen? I'll be there for 3 days so I need 2 bikes and maybe some routes to take.

If you know of any good websites that are in english with bike routes and or rental information that would be grreat for me.

Thanks in advance.
Samantha
