Kaufbeuren–Schongau Railway Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A beautiful, flat, and straight cycle path where you can easily build up speed (or, of course, just cycle along at a leisurely pace).

Steam Locomotive Cycle Path Kaufbeuren–Schongau

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful distance far from the motorized traffic and with a moderate gradient. Especially beautiful is the piece through the Sachsenrieder forest, past the idyllic forest station to Stocken. In Helmishofen …

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

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 🤩

Nice Sunday ride. The weather was actually great. A bit of sun, a light breeze. Perfect. Unfortunately, we didn't find a single kiosk or beer garden that was open 😔 They were on holiday or not open until May. Anyway, we let out our frustrations by biking. We had a cold beer at home 🤙🏻

September 18, 2024,Dampflokrunde ab Mauerstetten 🚴😎🌞

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 …

October 29, 2021,Abendrunde von Kaufbeuren clockwise

Former railway lines or small roads with little traffic are almost entirely paved, except for the section between Stocken and Ingenried. Slopes quite tame. Also suitable for the recumbent bike almost without exception. ;)

From Pforzen we started a beautiful, demanding tour with the terminus in Kaufbeuren. The area is really interesting. An e-bike is an advantage as it was a lot of uphill. Greetings Gudrun 🤗
