Traveller notes on Füssen in December
Other months in Füssen
Füssen's forum calls June one of the better months — mild days and cool nights that regularly dip below 15°C — but warns it's also one of the wettest, alongside August. Regulars recommend packing a waterproof jacket and a warm layer regardless of the season, since the weather here changes quickly enough that long-range forecasts aren't worth trusting.
