    The Via Claudia Augusta over the Reschen Pass and Fern Pass was built by the Romans in 47 AD as a military road. The bike route along the line is considered the easiest "Transalp" today. Give it a try!

    After arriving by Forggensee ship (season: early June - 15.10., bike transport possible), you get on your bike at the dam near Roßhaupten. The info center in the hydroelectric power plant (open Mon - Sun from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm) provides information about the Forggensee, the raft museum in Lechbruck about the former rafting on the Lech river. From here, you cycle on the actual Via Claudia Augusta bike route to Roßhaupten and along the western shore of the Forggensee to Füssen. Here the route largely coincides with the Forggensee bike path. In summer, you cannot get closer to the Roman road, because where it once ran straight south, today extends the Forggensee.
