If you have not yet discovered your romantic streak, this may change on the last stage. Because you will catch a glimpse of King Ludwig's dream castles.
On the last stage of the Lechweg, the route goes up and down even more. The reason: via Kniepass and the Sternschanze fortification, the route leaves the course of the river in the direction of Alpsee and the former realm of the Bavarian King Ludwig II. From the Alpsee circular trail, there is an unobstructed view of his castles Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein. A final ascent to the Kalvarienberg follows via the Alpenrosenweg. From there you have a panoramic view of Füssen and the Alpine foothills. Descent to the Füssen Lech Falls, the final point of the long-distance hiking trail.
In the last section of your hike, you leave the Lech river and follow forest and woodland paths over the Kniepass to the Sternschanze. The Lechweg then leads you along forest paths towards Alpsee before you follow the Alpsee circular trail. The Alpenrosenweg trail above the Schwansee lake takes you to the Kalvarienberg, the last ascent along the Lechweg trail. The descent finally takes you to the Lechfall, the end of your tour along the Lechweg.
