After the rain of the last few days, good weather was finally forecast. Ideal for an autumnal bike tour in the foothills of the Alps. We set off at 9:30 a.m. at 8 degrees from the agreed meeting point in Mauerstetten on the steam locomotive tour to Lechbruck and back via Marktoberdorf and Kaufbeuren. Many kilometers on former abandoned railway …

A nice loop along an old railway line. With interesting information and great views. I've never seen so many swans at once as on that day in the Lechsee 🤩

Today, in mixed weather, I tackled the railway line trail from Kaufbeuren. It's a very nice trail, 80% of which is paved.

Great cycling tour through the Allgäu on quiet roads and long stages on disused railway lines. Also great with a gravel bike or even a racing bike. Nice kiosk at the Schmutterweiher with a great swimming opportunity. Be sure to plan a rest stop here.
