Suspension Bridge over the Iller near Altusried

Anyone who manages the ascent after the bridge along the edge of the forest with a normal touring bike will receive a medal for bravery - rather something for MTBs

There's nothing new to say about the bridge. But there is something new to say about both routes to the bridge. From Altusried it's a comfortable, gentle downhill ride on a tarmac road. The other side is a bit more challenging. The concrete section is steep and can be slippery when wet, and the uphill section is a forest path whose surface changes every time it rains heavily; the gravel gets washed away. From above, there's a sign pointing downhill advising you to dismount on the steep section. At the concrete section there's a very tight bend that requires some skill and isn't easy to ride. I rode the whole way downhill and on the narrow concrete section I had oncoming traffic. I let them pass because cyclists going uphill have right of way. If it's busy there, I could imagine it being a bit annoying. I would only go uphill if it's dry.

In the direction of the post, directly after the bridge, there is a short steep climb.
