A tour via the small hamlet of Bachtel to Schwarzenberg leads through one of the most beautiful and idyllic areas of the Allgäu. The route offers moderate gradients, wide views and insights into the traditional Allgäu cultural landscape. Bachtel is a small, quiet hamlet with traditional Allgäu farms. From here you can enjoy the first views of the Nagelfluhkette and the Grünten.

After Bachtel, the route continues towards Schwarzenberg, a picturesque district of Blaichach. The paths lead through open landscapes with a clear view of the Allgäu Alps and smaller hamlets. The route is mostly asphalted, with short sections on gravel paths. The higher hamlet of Schwarzenberg offers magnificent views and a relaxed atmosphere. The section is also suitable for recreational cyclists and beginners, although there are some climbs to be overcome.

Even in the Allgäu there are still great tarmac roads without a lot of car traffic because they are only allowed for residents or farmers. It gets a bit hilly and there are also views of the mountains. Sorry that I didn't mark the whole route.

Thank you DakenH for writing the text. That has never been my strong point and my tendency towards perfectionism doesn't make it any easier. Unfortunately, superlatives are often overused, but this corner of the Allgäu is certainly one of the most beautiful because it combines quiet Alpine foothills roads with beautiful views. Apart from that, you can enjoy the landscape here in peace and quiet. In the direction of Sonthofen, Oberstdorf or Füssen it is simply too crowded.
