The Alpsee is a lake in the Ostallgäu district of Bavaria, Germany, located about 4 kilometres southeast of Füssen. It is close to the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles. The lake has just under five kilometres of shoreline and a depth of up to 62 metres.
Description
Alpsee is a popular tourist attraction, given its proximity to the castles and the wild swans that inhabit the lake.{{Cite web|title=Bavarian Palace Administration {{!}} Lakes {{!}} Alpsee|url=https://www.schloesser.bayern.de/englisch/lakes/objects/alpsee.htm|access-date=2020-11-01|website=www.schloesser.bayern.de}} Boats are available for rent and there is a wide variety of hiking trails in the vicinity. A circular path leads around the shore, and the "Fürstenstrasse" (Princes' Road) leads from Hohenschwangau over the Schwarzenberg ridge (Ammergau Alps) and down to Pinswang in the Lechtal.
