    With a box-seat view of the mountains, you cycle around Bavaria’s fifth-largest lake, which only has its full water level in summer. The Lech reservoir serves as a head reservoir for the downstream power plants and for flood control.

    If you cycle clockwise from the Füssen boot harbor past the Festspielhaus, you will also pass numerous beautiful swimming spots. From the dam, a detour to the nearby information center in the Roßhaupten hydropower plant is possible. For the best mountain view, stop at the Panoramastadel shortly before the Illasbergsee. The Waltenhofen parish church is one of the region’s oldest churches and is a cultural highlight of the route.

    Author’s recommendation

    Pack your swimwear on hot summer days and jump into one of the passing lakes or hamlets. Afterwards, it is worth making a short stop at the Panoramastadel or the Illasbergsee kiosk. 

    If you get tired along the way, you can switch with your bike at eight stops to the Forggensee round-trip boats (season: early June to mid-October).

You leave the village Roßhaupten on your left and follow the bike path. Past the small art park on the topic Roman, it goes uphill past the large dam at the hydropower plant until you reach the Panoramastadel. The bike path continues past the Illasbergsee.

At the Seerose kiosk, turn left and pass through the hamlet Greith. Between meadows and forests, mostly on agricultural paths, it goes to the village Brunnen. After crossing a small bridge, turn right towards Waltenhofen.
