Lake Forggensee

I was wondering if anyone has any information on the boat tour on the Lake Forggensee, for some reason when I try to use to website and purchase tickets English is not an option for a language. There also appear to be several different locations for a location to pick up the boat, but when using Google Maps those options are not near the lake. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

I could not find much in English. There is a short route and a longer one from the beginning of June to the 15th of October. It might be best for you to call or email the Tourist Office in Füssen for your needs. The contact information is at the bottom of the link. You might be able to purchase tickets thru them too. There was also a flyer from 2023 in German, but that probably does not help. The Füssen boat harbor is located by the P7 car park Weidachstraße 86, 87629 Füssen.

Agreed about the language problem. I wonder why they list almost every language in the world except English. However, I can read German. The note at the upper right hand side of this page, says

Leider gibt es keine Online-Verfügbarkeit für Februar 2024.

Unfortunately, there is no Online availability for February, 2024.

And it says it for every month! So I guess you just have to buy your ticket when you get there. There is a phone number attached, but will someone there speak English? You can try.

but when using Google Maps those options are not near the lake

They are near the lake. The website just didn't use Google Maps' descriptions. The start and end point of the small boat tour (kleine Rundfahrt) is listed on the boat tour's website as Bootshafen/Füssen. On Google Maps it is called the Forggensee Schifffahrt Füssen, but the nearby bus stop is labeled "Bootshafen, Füssen", same as on the schedule. It's on bus route 56. Here is the schedule for bus 56, which "starts" at the Füssen Bahnhof. Some of the 56 buses stop right at the Bootshafen, but most routes stop at Füssen, Augsburger. Str./Friedhof, which is at a traffic circle about ¼ mile west of the Bootshafen. It looks like bus 72 also runs that route.

Thank you! I sent an email.

Let us know how that worked out.

Boatrips on Lake Forggensee start from June 1 2024

But no matter which month you choose, June, for example, you still get "no online availability for June 2024".
