Key facts on the topic

• Location: on the northern shore of Lake Hopfen, around four kilometres northwest of Füssen
• Character of the village: tourism-oriented Kneipp spa and climatic health resort
• Special features: lakeside promenade with Alpine views, the parish church of St Peter and Paul, and Hopfen Castle Ruins above the village

Lakeside and shared experiences

If you would like to plan shared experiences with children at different paces, you can schedule the lakeside promenade and the historical points of interest as separate parts of your trip. The parish church of St Peter and Paul has Romanesque origins and is part of the local history. Above the village lies Hopfen Castle Ruins, a historic viewpoint in the surrounding area. This allows you to include the lakeside and local history in your itinerary without mixing the two focuses.

The lakeside promenade shapes the landscape impression: from there, you can see the Allgäu, Lechtal and Ammergau Alps; this landscape is also known by the nickname “Allgäu Riviera”. For a family trip, you can combine this clear lakeside focus with a cultural and historical focus in the village.

Choosing a location and mobility

Hopfen am See represents a stay by the lakeshore, while Füssen is the nearby urban reference point for further cultural and city visits. If you would like to compare a lakeside setting with an urban orientation for your family, you can also view the Füssen page. The two locations help you clearly determine the desired focus of your trip.

For arrival, the A7 motorway and the railway station in Füssen are regional reference points; buses in the area are also described.

Season and travel planning

Depending on the season, swimming and water sports or winter activities on or beside the lake are described at Lake Hopfen. For flexible family planning, first decide whether the focus should be on water-based experiences during a warmer travel period or, under suitable conditions, on winter activities. The season you choose therefore provides a specific direction for your daily itinerary and accommodation search.
