    From the station, head north towards the town exit in the direction of Isny. On the cycle/pedestrian path to Buflings and via Zell to the "Weißenbachmühle". Along the "Obere Argen" river to Oberthalhofen and straight on until before the climb. Turn right along the edge of the forest to the state road. Turn left, initially on the cycle path, then on the road to Schönau. Again, take a cycle path, after about 400 meters turn right. Through the hamlets Schneit and Altensberg to Gestratz. In the village, turn left and continue to the main street. Turn left again and after a few meters then right following the signs to the inn "Malleichen" with beer garden. Return the first kilometer the same way. Before Gestratz, turn right via Unter- and Oberschmitten pleasantly to Röthenbach. From here, uphill on the main road to the cycle path, which leads flat back to Schönau. Turn right here and via Heimhofen and Rutzhofen to Stiefenhofen. In the village turn right and immediately after the inn "Rössle" turn right again. After 100 meters, turn left for one last climb. Via Ranzenried comfortably to Genhofen and back to Oberstaufen.

    Author’s recommendation

    A popular destination for cyclists is the inn "Malleichen". This route tip leads as a circular route except for the unpaved section between Zell and Harbatshofen via low-traffic secondary roads and cycle paths. A paved variant for this section is possible for road cyclists via Stiefenhofen.
