Our main reason for travelling to Fussen was that we had found a marathon/half marathon there during the time we would be in Europe. Rosie wanted to run a marathon to celebrate her 40th birthday (it's tomorrow, I better remember LOL). We have both run several half marathons and she ran a full about 5 years ago. But it turned out to be a place I will never forget. From the scenery to the castles and everything in between, it was all good. Our hotel turned out to be on the main pedestrian area with our room on the 3rd floor overlooking the street. The 2 big windows opened like a door so you could really watch the happenings the small bit of time we were actually in the room. The hotel was about a 3 or 4 minute walk from the train station, and we found it quickly. We arrived the day before the half marathon, which started at 6:30PM, so we spent the first day just walking around. It is right on the edge of the alps so lots of steep roads and sidewalks. Just what I needed to warm up for my run. Once again it was sunny and very hot, in the low 30's.
