Städtische Forggensee-Schifffahrt

Description

With us you will become addicted to the lake! Enjoy a trip on the picturesque Forggensee.

With its twelve kilometers length and three kilometers width, the Forggensee is the largest lake in the Allgäu. From 01 June to 15 October you can take small and large round trips on the Forggensee or use the regular service. Our boat trip offers a unique view of the famous Neuschwanstein Castle including Hohenschwangau Castle, the mountains of the Ammergau, Lechtal and Tannheim Alps and the town of Füssen. Enjoy the view or let the wind blow around your nose. Come in and enjoy the "floating restaurant" of our on-board catering.  Here you will be spoiled with varied snacks, first-class coffee and cake specialties or larger meals. Tickets are available on board or online. Both ships are handicapped accessible. Our ship personnel will be happy to assist you with boarding/ disembarking.
