    Roadbook

    From the starting point, head towards Horn and cross the dam after a short ride – please dismount and push your bicycle here. Immediately afterwards, turn left towards Füssen city center and the old town. After a few minutes, you will reach the Theresien Bridge. First, ride under the bridge, then turn right and cross it.

    When you arrive at Schwangauer Street, follow the bike and footpath to the right up to the Lechfall. This is a good place for a short break: from the Maxsteg bridge, you can enjoy the impressive view of the twelve-meter-high dam and the rushing waters.

    The next stop is the Forest Adventure Center, which you can visit. Afterwards, continue your ride, cross the border, and reach Austria.

    From here, follow the signs towards Musau, Vils, and Pfronten. In Vils, the path leads you to St. Anna Church and then along the Vils River to Pfronten-Steinach and Pfronten-Meilingen. After Meilingen, the route gently ascends. At the roundabout, turn right and follow the route to Weißensee.

    Refreshed, cycle along the shore of Weißensee to the road leading to Alatsee. Follow this road for a short distance before turning left towards Füssen city center. Ride through the town to Morisse, where you turn right to Bad Faulenbach and shortly afterwards left towards the Lech River and Schwangau.

    After crossing the Lech footbridge, continue following the bike path to Alterschrofen. Here, turn left onto Bullachbergweg, which leads you back to Schwangauer Street. From there, it is about 1 kilometer back to the starting point at Schlossbrauhaus.
