Situated at the southern end of Germany's Romantic Road, Füssen's lovely historic appearance and scenic Alpen backdrop make this Bavarian town the perfect place to begin or continue your German education. After you finish with your German courses in Füssen for the day, explore the shops and cafés in the medieval town center or the newly-restored market hall. Attend the annual Vielsaitig Festival and learn about the craft of violin-making while enjoying concerts and chamber music performances. Tour the landmark Gothic-era Hohes Schloss Castle and check out the State Art collection located inside. Of course, no description of Füssen could be complete without mention of King Ludwig II and his influence on the town. Known as the "Fairytale King," Ludwig II built some of the most beautiful and iconic castles in Europe. Students at a German school in Füssen can visit many of these castles, each one more beautiful than the last. Neuschwanstein, arguably the most famous of Ludwig's residences, acted as the inspiration for Disneyland's iconic Cinderella Castle. The Linderhof Palace, the only castle which Ludwig lived to see competed, is also just a short drive away. Give your German education a storybook feel when you live and learn in this charming Bavarian village.
