Not every green-marked cycle path is suitable for road cyclists. However, the well-known cycle path from Kaufbeuren east via Mauerstetten, Linden, and all the way to Helmishofen is one such path. Therefore, I wanted to highlight it again.

Since the cycle path mostly runs along a kind of embankment, you have a great view of the surrounding landscape. All intersections are clearly visible. You can let it run here. Have fun.

This is the so-called Dampflokrunde. Low rise on former railway line, which was built to build the Forgensee. - With the exception of a short distance in the forest, the entire Dampflokrunde is also excellent for the road bike!

Perfect bike path - good surface, nice wide, little slope. Was probably a railway line

Actually, the Rit starts on the bike just before Stocken and goes to Kaufbeuren to Leinauer Hang. Most people do not find the access to the bike path in Helmishofen. No matter which side you come from. Because you have to cross the street and the residential area to find the hidden driveway behind the houses. On the entire route you will be rewarded with a good view of the Alps (weather must fit) and the quality of the road is excellent. Who drives this route should not miss the old (newly renovated) Roman tower. The Römerturm is in Helmishofen but is better to reach if you drive to Aufkirch and then immediately right up the Roman road in the direction Schützenheim. For road bike riders, it's time to push the last 350 meters. But this view compensates for the small detour definitely ....

Very well to be traveled bike path, part of the well-known Dampflockrunde. In the past, because of the surfacing, also liked to ride on inliners. In the meantime quite rare after my experiences

I also like to drive the track with the racer. Be careful, especially when there are trees on the edge or by the bridges, here you can feel the full hardness of your chassis.
