Schwangau is a village in Bavaria, southern Germany. It’s a gateway to the grand Neuschwanstein Castle, a 19th-century hilltop palace built for King Ludwig II. Nearby, Hohenschwangau Castle features ornately furnished state rooms. A cable car runs up Tegelberg, a mountain offering ski slopes and views over the surrounding countryside.
To the north, Forggensee is a huge lake popular for sailing, fishing and swimming.
