About this audio guide
This audio guide to Hopfensee near Füssen reaches back to the Danube near Dillingen in eighteen forty-nine, where a sick young theology student named Sebastian Kneipp was testing an idea he had found in an old book. It follows how that idea travelled to the Bavarian lakeside village that now calls itself a Kneipp spa. Best heard on the promenade, looking out toward the floating island.
