Motzabach Riverside Trail

Highlight • Trail

The stroller-friendly hiking trail is easy to walk. A highlight for families with children, as the Motzabach stream runs along the entire length of the trail. Children can play in it or float boats.

Unfortunately, the tour to the geological organs is closed. We climbed over the barriers but I saw us in the newspaper. Tourists fell. 🫣

You can be outside even when it's raining...
The route is a lovely up and down around Ottobeuren, with varying path conditions.
Unfortunately, no view today due to the weather. It was still very nice.
And the end with cream puffs was very tasty 😋.

On the way to our Allgäu holiday, we first did a lap around Ottobeuren. Luckily only a short lap, as my drive was still quite damaged from yesterday's half marathon.
