August 9, 2025, Bench With Castle Motif and View of Allgäu

The bench overlooking the Hopfensee is especially inviting for a short rest. The other one, overlooking the ruins, is okay, but it offers lovely evening sun. Unfortunately, or thankfully, there's hardly any shade. So, sunscreen if you're going for longer.

It is recommended to drive from north to south. Then you have a beautiful descent and a great view of the Hopfensee and the mountain range behind it.
