As soon as we stepped off the train, a feeling of happiness and awe washed over us. Was this place for real?! This quaint, little town immediately made us feel as though we were transported in to a story book...
Perhaps best comparable to 'scene one' from my favorite childhood movie, Beauty & the Beast ("Little town, full of little people…").
Even our hotel, aptly named Fantasia, was in theme and held a likeness to a Disney castle… complete with purple and pink beds! Needless to say despite a 3.5 hour train ride, we couldn't wait to start exploring.
We hired bikes from the train station (10 euro per day) and rode from the old town towards the mountains, greeted with a great number of treats and surprises along the way. Our favourite sights were the River Lech, the Neuschwanstein castle and the Lechfall waterfall. On top of the big landmarks mentioned, just walking around and exploring the churches, the unpaved streets and the mountain paths were an equally satisfying feast for the senses. They don't call it the Romantic Road for nothing!
Also worth mentioning was the scrumptious and mouth-watering Greek dinner we had at Restaurant Kelari. With a huge, beautiful outdoor courtyard on top of old medieval style building, we devoured the most delicious Greek food we've ever had. The Gyro pan and the octopus were simply divine.
All in all, Fussen is a place like no other. From the adorable buildings, to the cute cobble streets, to the absolutely astounding mountain backdrops, Fussen is truly a charming and beautiful destination, seemingly untouched by time and technology.
