August 27, 2025,Oberstdorf: Hörnerdörfer und Iller-Radweg

Oberstdorf Tour 4:
For a change, we rented bikes 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️ today. Our destination was Sonthofen.

For the outward journey, we chose a somewhat hilly route through the Hörner villages of Obermaiselstein, Bolsterlang, and Ofterschwang.

The return journey followed the beautiful Iller Cycle Path 🏞️ to the source of the Iller (the confluence of the Breitach, Stillach, and Trettach rivers).

Cycling in the Allgäu is always a feast for the eyes.
At route point 7 I took a wrong turn. It goes left over the bridge, not down !!! ☝
