... by car

Füssen marks the southern terminus of Germany's longest highway, the A7. The 961-kilometre federal freeway crosses Germany from north to south and brings travelers by car or coach quickly and conveniently to Füssen. The B16, B17 and B310 federal highways and the Fernpass road (B179) from Austria also lead directly to Füssen.

As the four-lane freeway ends directly after Füssen at the border tunnel, the road is narrowed to two lanes and only continues on two lanes in neighboring Tyrol, traffic jams and obstructions can occur before the Füssen exit on busy days. We recommend that those traveling by car and bus pay attention to current traffic reports and, if necessary, leave the freeway at the Nesselwang exit. From Nesselwang, you can reach Füssen via the B309 and B310 federal highways .
