Forggensee

Lake Forggensee in Allgäu is among the most beautiful reservoirs in Germany and is nestled in one of the most impressive landscapes of Bavaria – with a view of the peaks of the Ammergau and Allgäu Alps. This region is perfect for a convertible tour, as the surrounding roads offer wide curves, gentle slopes, and incomparable views of the lake, meadows, and mountains. Anyone driving a convertible will immediately feel the sense of freedom and openness that Forggensee communicates like hardly any other place.

A Lake with History and Seasonal Character

Forggensee is an artificially created reservoir that is filled each year starting in June and reaches its full size into the autumn. This changes the landscape depending on the season – a fascinating aspect for those who come more frequently or want to experience different seasons. At low water levels, the lake even reveals parts of the ancient Roman road Via Claudia Augusta, adding an additional historical dimension to the place.

Panorama with a Royal Castle

What makes Forggensee particularly special is the spectacular view of the famous Neuschwanstein Castle, which sits atop a hill in the background. From the southern shore or on a boat tour, the scene looks like something out of a storybook. The roads around the lake – including some real convertible routes – offer unforgettable perspectives and invite relaxed stops, whether in Füssen, Schwangau, or at one of the many small beach sections.

Ideal for a Convertible Road Trip through Allgäu

The area around Forggensee is a dream for any convertible tour in Allgäu. Whether leisurely along the lakeside roads or sportily over the hill ridges towards Lechbruck – the driving experience is intense and varied. Moreover, Forggensee fits perfectly into a larger convertible tour through Bavaria. If you're looking for even more scenery, you can combine it with a drive through the Tannheimer Tal or along the German Alpine Road. The lake is also excellent as a stop on a "convertible tour or Cabrio-Tour in the state" – in this case, Bavaria.
