"All this and a castle as well" a Füssen Travel Page by iandsmith

I had wanted to walk around it on my previous trip but ran out of time and was uncertain just how long it would take. Had I simply noticed the sign my question would have been answered! It happens to be about 90 minutes around this body of water and, on the northern side there's a lovely aspect looking directly at the first of the alps.
It's a fairly flat walk except for a minor hill near Hohenswhangau but it's definitely not suited to wheelchairs and can get a bit wet after snow, as it was for us.
While 10,000 will visit Neuschwanstein, only around 100 will trek here so it's a nice change of pace and, in certain places, has quite nice views of both castles as well.

For me, Fuessen is much more than just one castle a few kilometres away. You really should allow yourself more time to explore this lovely town. Treasures like Lechfall await your footsteps.

In and around, in addition to Neuschwanstein, there are at least five other castles or ruins of castles in the area around Fuessen. I've managed to visit at least four of them. You should too.
