Hopfensee
A warm, quiet lake about 4 km north of Füssen, where lakeside paths and grassy slopes face the Alps. Good for swimming, paddling and watching the sunset.
Hopfensee lies about 4 km north of Füssen. This shallow lake covers roughly 2 square kilometres, and in summer the water can reach over 20°C, making it the locals' first choice for swimming. On the north shore, the village of Hopfen is a spa resort. The lakeside path is about 1 km long, pedal boats and paddleboards can be rented, and the lawns and cafés by the water face the Alps. At sunset, the mountains reflected in the lake are especially beautiful. The area around the lake is a nature reserve, and the loop around it is about 8 km, suitable for hiking or cycling. From Füssen, a bus takes about 10 minutes; those driving will find paid car parks.
