August 14, 2021,Von Schongau aus am Lech entlang und über den Schwalbenstein zurück

Today's tour went from Schongau along the Lech. Then over the Lech-Höhenweg over the Berlachberg to the Schwalbenstein and back again. Then I made a short detour to the old town of Schongau.

From the Schwalbenstein you could see the Lech and the Hohen Peißenberg well. The Alps on the horizon were only dimly visible.
