Bocklbahn Cycle Path: Allersberg to Seligenporten

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The beautiful cycle path between Allersberg-Seligenporten runs in sections on an old railway line. A varied cycle path through forests and across fields past ponds, fine gravel (easy to drive) and the section at Selienporten is paved.

Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal

Highlight • River

The landscape is simply beautiful and even in sunny weather it doesn't get too hot because there are many shady areas.
Not crowded even on Whitsun Sunday.

König-Ludwig Canal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The old canal is always worth a visit, whether you are hiking or cycling, and the forest playground right next door is a nice change for the little ones.

October 27, 2022,Vom Wasser zum Wasser zum Wassser 😃 - RMD Kanal - LDM Kanal - Rothsee

Today we first went along the Rhein Main Donau Kanal ⛴️ to the Schwanstetten lock. Then via Kleinschwarzlohe to Sorg. From there to the king 👑 Ludwig Kanal to Pfeifferhütte. There, right up into the forest 🥵 towards Pyrbaum and from there to Seligenporten. Via Allersberg we went to Rothsee and then back to HIP 😛
