    From the village center in Obermaiselstein, the tour runs on well-trodden paths through gentle meadow terrain and along individual patches of forest. Already in the first kilometers, there are frequent views of the surrounding mountains and the Iller Valley. The Sturmann Cave is reached after a short time. It is the only show cave in the Allgäu and makes its underground world accessible. During a guided tour, you can learn more about the formation of the cave, old rock layers, and the cool, moist climate inside.

    The path then continues through fields and small trails along the outskirts back to Obermaiselstein. Along the way, there are several opportunities for short breaks with views of the surrounding foothills. In the village, there are also options for refreshments at the end of the round.
