There, where Bavaria is at it’s most beautiful, between the Ammer mountain range and the Tannheim Mountains in the South and the undulating Alpen foothills surrounding the former imperial town Kaufbeuren in the North, you will find the holiday region of East Allgaeu, which we call ‘Ostallgäu’.

The Bavarian kings themselves were so fascinated by the unique charm and magic of this region in and around the mountains that they came to reside here: Crown Prince Maximilian, the later King Max II., converted and extended the ruined castle Hohenschwangau into a holiday residence. A mere stone’s throw away, his son, Bavaria’s Fairy-Tale King Ludwig II, turned an audacious dream into reality: Neuschwanstein Castle has become an unmistakeable emblem for a truly royal holidays and leisure region.
