A very nice tour that gives a lot even with a cloudy sky. Easy with the e-bike. Otherwise a bit exhausting, especially when it's hot. take breaks.

In the morning ☔️, in the afternoon with 🌞 and ☁️ the tour around the Forggensee, always beautiful. The Forggensee is celebrating its 70th birthday this year. It is the largest reservoir in Bavaria, but it has no water in the autumn/winter, only to be filled again in the spring by melting snow and rain.
Unfortunately, the path directly along …

At one point, I drove in circles a bit, so I apologize for that.
Otherwise, the tour is suitable for all ages.

Our Allgäu vacation apartment in Eschach is located right between Hopfensee and Forggensee, so a trip around Forggensee is an unavoidable part of the itinerary. The weather is better than forecast, not as cold as yesterday, and the sun even makes an occasional appearance. The Forggensee cycle path is almost entirely paved, gently hilly, and very diverse – highly recommended!

After three days of constant rain it is finally dry today. The Forgensee circuit is well signposted. You should drive it clockwise to get beautiful views.

Today, we're back on our bikes for a wonderful tour around Lake Forrgen, which …
