It's the Unterallgäu's turn again. Warm and humid, wet, muddy, mosquitoes, but otherwise it was OK. 🤣
The route is rather long-winded up to the suspension bridge. At the bridge you can cool off in the Iller. There is also a rest area with benches.
Then it goes up rooty paths to Kalden Castle [Oberallgäu]😇. If you're going to rest, …

Komoot misled us a bit at the end/beginning of the tour. Construction site at the Iller Bridge, yes, pedestrians/cyclists are allowed to pass through and there are no problems.
