The route starts at Oy station and is ideally ridden clockwise. Always following the „binoculars“ symbol.
At the beginning, we brush past the Oyer Moor. After climbing to the Schnakenhöhe (a viewpoint with a guesthouse), we roll down to Maria Rain. Here is the church „Heilig Kreuz“, one of the most beautiful village churches in the Allgäu and the oldest pilgrimage church of the Allgäu region, with origins dating back to the 11th century. Continuing towards Haslach to the Grüntensee. Here, besides the high ropes course „Kletterwald Grüntensee“, there is a large bathing lawn, a playground, and a kiosk. Those who rest here should take a detour on foot through the wetlands towards Haslach, which host a unique variety of flowers and insects in the spring. Across the dam that feeds the Wertach River, our tour leads on the shore path along the fishery educational trail, heading to Wertach, to the St. Sebastian's Chapel, also known as „Kleine Wies“. Behind Wertach, a longer climb awaits us, at the end of which we are rewarded with a 360-degree panorama from the Ellegg height. We roll downhill to Petersthal, where the local leisure facility with a bathing beach, pedal boat rental, beach volleyball, etc., invites for a longer half-time break. We circle the Rottachsee, continue over the dam, and pass the Moosbach leisure facility. Until the early 1990s, the lake was dammed and now serves water regulation for the Iller and Danube rivers. Through Oberzollhaus (refreshments possible), we cycle up to Schwarzenberg, where again wonderful wide views of Neuschwanstein Castle, the Zugspitze, and the Allgäu Alps await us. On the final stretch back to Oy, we pass the Schwarzenberger Weiher, a popular „moor swimming lake“. Just a few meters uphill and the round ends in Oy, where in the spa park cyclists can refresh their legs in the Kneipp basin.
