Description

Description:

Enjoy the different landscapes of the Allgäu. The scenic western Allgäu, cross the Iller valley and conquer the old Joch pass near Bad Hindelang. At Oberjoch, the main route splits into a northern and a southern variant.

The southern main route leads us eastward from Oberjoch. After a few kilometers, we cross the border into Austria and reach the tranquil Tannheimer Tal with its small villages. The high valley lies at about 1,100 m and is idyllically framed by some striking mountains such as Gaishorn, Aggenstein, or Gimpel. In the middle of the valley is the well-known Vilsalpsee. Via the Meraner Steig and the old Gaicht Pass, we reach the Lech valley. The Lech is considered one of the last wild rivers of Central Europe here. Unmistakable and breathtaking is the so-called Lechzopf, where the river branches into several parallel arms. From Weißenbach, we ride along the Lech to our destination Elmen.

Currently, a section near Missen-Wilhams is closed until approximately mid-June 2025. A detour is signposted on site.

• Always ride at a controlled speed and with half visibility, especially around curves, as obstacles can appear at any time!


• Be considerate of hikers and pedestrians and only overtake at walking pace!


• Take into account the difficulty level of the route and accurately assess your experience and skills as a biker! Protect your head with a helmet and check your equipment before each bike ride (brakes, bell, lights)!


• Respect barriers and accept that this path primarily serves agricultural and forestry use! Close the pasture gates!


• Respect nature and wildlife, do not leave the marked route, avoid riding off the open trails, and finish your bike ride before dusk. Leave no waste behind!

Due to bridge construction work in the Missen area, the route is currently closed. A detour is signposted on site.
