About this activity

Explore Füssen's enchanting walled medieval town on a guided 90-minute walk through centuries of Bavarian history. Discover High Castle, the prince-bishops' former retreat, alongside baroque churches, narrow cobblestone streets, and the turquoise Lech River that inspired the town's name—meaning 'feet'—making it perfectly suited for leisurely exploration.

We present to you the romantic walled town of Füssen. Come with us to discover the High Castle, the former summer residence of the prince-bishops of Augsburg. Here you will learn about a treaty that ended imperial ambitions, and why this city is so perfect to see on foot, that even it’s name says so: Füssen, or “Feet”. Admire the Bavarian architecture, the sparkling turquoise river that runs through its center and the cobble-stoned alleyway that give the town an old-world charm, while it still offers all the services that you expect in modern times. Its unique ambience invites you to explore the medieval alleys and town wall, pastel-toned shop, baroque churches, and museums.
