    The circular route leads from Mengen-Rulfingen past the Zielfinger Lakes to Krauchenwies, through the princely park and further via Göggingen and Menningen to Engelswies, where you have already covered about half the distance. If you wish, you can visit the pilgrimage church "To the Sorrowful Mother of God" here. Then it goes back via Vilsingen and Inzigkofen. Here it is worth visiting the monastery, the farmers' museum, as well as taking a detour to the Princely Park to the "Amalienfelsen" or to the Hanging Bridge. It continues via Laiz, past the Henselmann art museum to Sigmaringen. A visit to Hohenzollern Castle is definitely part of it. Those looking for something adventurous in addition to culture will find it at the high ropes course/climbing park. The final stage now leads via Sigmaringendorf, past the Waldbühne natural theater, back to Mengen-Rulfingen. The catering establishments at the Zielfinger Lakes invite you to culinary indulgence after the route.

    Author’s recommendation

    Relax after the bike ride at the Zielfinger Lakes; the "Südsee III" beach pool invites you to take a plunge into the lake.

    Tips and suggestions

    On the route, in addition to Sigmaringen Castle, which can be visited, there is also the Old Castle in Krauchenwies, the princely Hohenzollern park, the pilgrimage church "To the Sorrowful Mother of God" in Engelswies, as well as the Henselmann art museum in Laiz.

    Roadbook

    The route starts at the Zielfinger Lakes, from there it goes flat along the south shore of the lakes to Krauchenwies. From there through the shady princely park and further along sunny fields via Göggingen to Menningen. Only after Menningen does the route head north again into the shady forest until shortly before Engelswies. Via Vilsingen it goes to Inzigkofen. Here you can take a break, visit Inzigkofen Monastery, the farmers' museum with herb garden, or take a walk through the Princely Park to the Amilienfelsen, the Devil's Bridge, and the Hanging Bridge before continuing to Sigmaringen. A visit to Hohenzollern Castle is a must here, and if you need more exercise, you can get it at the high ropes course. Then continue via Sigmaringendorf and then again through the forest back to the Zielfinger Lakes. If you are hungry or thirsty now, you can stop by the "Haus am See" and enjoy the lake from the terrace, or lay out your towel at the beach with a restaurant at Südsee 3, go for a swim, or simply relax and enjoy the regional cuisine.
