Sun salutation with a view of the castle
The Rohrkopfhütte at 1361 meters on the Tegelberg not far from the Kneipp spa in Füssen offers several yoga platforms that can be used free of charge with an unobstructed view of the surrounding Allgäu Alps and the fairytale castle of Neuschwanstein. The ascent takes about 45 minutes. If you want to be professionally instructed and enjoy a healthy alpine breakfast, do the first sun salutation of the day with Franziska Thurm from Yoga-Glück Füssen. The price of 44 euros includes a yoga session and breakfast. Alternatively, Franzi organizes on 22./23. July a little yoga break at the Füssener Hütte (96 euros including accommodation, meals and yoga). In addition, the Festspielhaus Neuschwanstein welcomes a top-class line-up at the Yoga & Music Festival Om am See (July 1 to 3, from 149 euros) from yoga guru Patrick Broome to the Bavarian alpine jazzers LaBrassBanda, whose last album, by the way “Yoga Symphony No. 1” was called. > fuessen.de
