Forggensee is located in Ostallgäu in Bavaria, near Füssen, and is one of Germany's largest reservoir lakes by area. As a storage lake for the Lech, it is drained during the winter months and refills only during the warmer season. In summer, it offers expansive views across the water to the Allgäu and Tyrolean Alps, as well as to the royal castles near Schwangau. A circular route invites cycling and hiking tours, and the lake is also used for sailing and boat trips.
