Very nice cycle route across the Iller.

Steep but easily navigable access on the east side of the Altusried suspension bridge

Ottobeuren Market Square / Market Chronicle Probably none of the visitors who stay in Ottobeuren today, for a shorter or longer period of time, can imagine how this approximately 1,500-year-old, historic town was founded. When visitors arrive in Ottobeuren from all directions by private car, taxi, or bus, their first gaze is usually drawn to the mighty basilica with its monastery buildings. No one considers that the very ground they have just set foot on was once impassable terrain, moorland, swamp, and densely wooded area. Nevertheless, a man had dared to gain a foothold here, clear the forest, and establish a human settlement. What Stone Age hunters and fishers had failed to achieve much earlier—namely, to settle here—had become the life's work of a man named Uot. At the site where the market square stands today, the first giant trees soon collapsed under the axe blows of the Uot farmers. Huts were built from rough beams, livestock was raised, and fields were cultivated. Only a few huts in the middle of the forest housed the Uot clan. Uot, the Swabian, founded Ottobeuren in the 5th century. Text / Source: Ottobeuren Tourist Office, Marktplatz 14, Ottobeuren https://www.ottobeuren.de/de/marktgemeinde/rathaus/markt-chronik.php

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.

The blue suspension bridge over the Iller is really an eye-catcher and fits well into the landscape.

There is a nice picnic area right on the bike path

Very beautiful and interesting, high stone rocks along the Iller. Beautifully situated and worth a visit.
