Rottachsee circuit

We start at the parking lot next to the sports field of Moosbach. After a few pedal strokes, we pass the Lourdes Grotto located to the left at the roadside. In a boulder made of Nagelfluh rock, there is the Mother of God of Lourdes in a niche. Almost in the middle of the western lakeside path, we come to the "small bathing lake." A strip of land separates the small pond from the main lake there. Along the shore, numerous beautiful photo opportunities await us and with an occasional glance over the shoulder, the guardian of the Allgäu, the Grünten (1,738m), rises behind the lake. Behind the "Quiet Corner," a crossroads, the path gently ascends again and we circle the narrow northern lake outlet. The inconspicuous "Rotwässerle" is one of the streams that feed the Rottachsee.
We pass the Reitermoor, which hides the legendary Kesselsee. According to legend, Allgäu Schildbürger are said to have sunk a bell here and marked the hiding place with a cross on the bottom of their boat. Almost without muscle power, we roll to the forelake at Bisseroy with kiosk, sunbathing meadow, and bathing spot, and after a few minutes, we already reach the next resting opportunity, the recreational facility in Petersthal, with a playground, sports facility, sailing harbor, bathing spot, kiosk, and boat and SUP rental.
Further, a wooded section of the route leads us to the southern end of the lake and its dam. A small hydroelectric power plant generates electricity here for about 400 households, and additionally, the Rottachsee serves to regulate the water level of the Iller and Danube. Those who saved the refreshment until the end are well catered for at the Moosbach recreational facility: bathing spot, Kneipp facility, kiosk, and plenty of playing opportunities ensure the perfect finale and those who want to fortify themselves can get well served in Moosbach or Petersthal.
