Preparations for the annual Königsschlösser Romantic Marathon are well underway and the first registrations have already fluttered through our letterbox.

The Königsschlösser Romatic Marathon hosted in the East Allgäu – one of the most attractive and prettiest regions in the whole of Bavaria – is a unique run. This was confirmed once again by the run staged this year: over 800 runners went under starter’s orders in Füssen on a day with the most perfect weather conditions. Some three kilometres later, with the town left far behind, the runners could look forward to the rest of the run through the most beautiful countryside imaginable: across the Hopfer forest, round Lake Hopfensee, across the floodplain of the river Lech along the banks of Lake Forggensee, across lush green meadows and past the royal castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, through the Schwansee woodlands and on to the final sprint for the town again.

Have we whetted your appetite to take part in this fabulous marathon in the Königswinkel? The registration fee includes medals for finishers, a finisher video, a downloadable and printable certificate and finally our legendary pasta party. It goes without saying that the impeccable time keeping by davengo and the added incentive of the beautiful countryside are also included.  Don’t miss out on this Königsschlösser Romantic Marathon!

The race is half asphalt, half forest trails with much of it along the banks of water – round Lake Hopfensee, across the floodplain of the river Lech and along the banks of Lake Forggensee. As well as the beautiful countryside runners can view the royal castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.
