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.

Classic Forggensee round with wife, mostly on asphalt.
After yesterday's rainy day, today sun with clouds, about 23 degrees

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 …

Great round tour around the Forgensee with a great view. Highly recommended 👍🏻

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

The bike path around the Forggensee is very nicely developed, with great descents or slopes (depending on how you drive around). Unfortunately, the designated cycle path leads far away from the lake, so that you often have no view of the lake at all. The hiking trail leads directly along the shore. Some cyclists used the trail 😏 We didn't. …

September 13, 2025,Runde um den Forggensee
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.
