    The route starts at the Narrenbrunnen in Ostrach. Via an idyllic bike path marked with O7, you reach Burgweiler via Kalkreute. Attention when crossing at the train station, there is occasional train traffic! In Burgweiler, head from the town hall towards the playground at the former castle. A visit to the nearby boundary stone museum is recommended to marvel at the scale-accurate boundary lines of the former Kingdom of Württemberg, Grand Duchy of Baden, and Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen within the municipality of Ostrach. Continuing on the O7, you pass through the Bannwald of the Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried nature reserve to the Bannwald tower, which is definitely worth an "outlook". Then follow the route along the river Ostrach until you finally return to the Narrenbrunnen.

    Author’s recommendation

    The route is marked as "O7" on the cycling and hiking map of the Northern Lake Constance holiday region. You can obtain the map from us at the tourist information.

    Roadbook

    Start at Narrenbrunnen, follow the O7 via Kalkreute towards Burgweiler, cross the L280 at the train station and ride to the town hall. Continue straight ahead to the playground at the castle. There turn left and reach the boundary stone museum after about 500 m. Then continue right on the O7 to the Bannwald tower. From there, always follow along the Ostrach river and return to Ostrach at the Narrenbrunnen.

    Alternative: if your destination is the train station, turn left at the model airfield and ride towards Ostrach.
