After an initial steep section, we cycle a rather leisurely route to Rohrmoos, a high valley of Oberstdorf that is only accessible via a toll road. By the way, the route was not named after any Toni, but after the Toniskopf, which is circled on this route. The starting point Hirschsprung owes its name to the two steep rock walls on the right and left of the road. It is said that once a mighty stag saved itself with a tremendous leap to the other side from a lynx or other dangers.
