Schwangau is conveniently located for a visit to Neuschwanstein Castle, but you really should
plan enough time for this town if you'd like a break out
in the country. With three lakes, nature reserves and miles of trails, this is a wonderful spot for for kids to stretch their legs, go hiking or biking in summer. |
