Luck Bringer Route - Understanding storks

South of Pfaffenhausen station, continue for 2.5 km to Egelhofen. Turn left at the T-junction there.

Along the Eastern Mindel, continue for 3 km to Hausen. The Alpine range can often be seen beautifully in the distance. Please be careful when crossing the main road in Hausen. Leave the village northeast via the street "Zum Simonsberg" and head towards Zaisertshofen.

Halfway there is the 1st stork station. Leave Zaisertshofen northeast via Pfarrer-Gelb-Straße towards Mörgen. Before the Westerbach, turn left; after 2.7 km you reach a large forest. Warning: Wild boars live here!

At the end of the forest, stay on the bike path and continue to Mörgen. Leave the village northwest via Weiherstraße. After 1 km, you reach an orchard meadow with the 2nd stork station and a magnificent view over the Mindel valley and the Allgäu mountain range.

You pass the outskirts of Spöck. Arriving in Kirchheim with the magnificent Fugger castle and the Sinnenpark, follow the main street until the turnoff onto Hasberger Straße on the left. Here you can already see the 3rd stork station.

Cross the state road via the bike path. Continue towards Hasberg. To reach the stork station, turn right onto the field path behind a construction company. Then turn around and follow the bike path towards Hasberg. There is the Hollweiher pond on the left. After 3.2 km, the path meets the village road of Hasberg. Travel south on this road and turn right at the second street by the chapel. Continue following the bike path.

After 1.3 km, turn right again at the T-junction, then before the Unterberghöfe village sign, turn left towards the Mindel. Warning: You cross the district road! Immediately after, continue on the right along the river and past Schöneberg until the path meets the Upper Mill Path after 3 km.

In this section, the Mindel is renaturalized and easily accessible. Continue through the Pfaffenhausen moor with the 4th adventure station until the end of the street. Orient to the right and follow the path back to Pfaffenhausen.
