Key change

Your base is better for RÖSLE, Allgäu-Brennerei, Wieskirche and Forggensee.

Compared with using Schloss Neuschwanstein as the routing center, Roßhaupten pulls you north/east. The Ostallgäu shopping day becomes very efficient; Sonthofen/Oberallgäu still works but is more of a longer excursion. Breitachklamm is now just over the expanded radius at ~62 min, so I’d treat it as “borderline acceptable” if you really want the famous gorge.

Borderline but worth knowing

Breitachklamm is now ~62 minutes from the accommodation.

This is just outside the expanded 60-minute filter, but close enough that I’d still consider it if the gorge is a priority. Official status found: open daily 09:00–17:00, but always check same day after weather.
