    Eine sehr schöne Tour---insbesondere mit Ebike, das den Steigungen den Schrecken nimmt. Der Park am Kloster Sießen ist ein Juwel, Saulgau lädt wie auch Schussenried, Aulendorf und Altshausen zur Besichtigung von Klöstern und Schlössern , ebenso wie zum Flanieren ein. Eine der besten Eisdielen nördlich der Alpen findet man beim Eingang des Klosterareals in Schussenried!!! Die Tour erfreut auch nach mehrmaliger Fahrt.

    Der Hoßkircher Königseggsee ist ein wunderbares, entspanntes und modernes Naturfreibad mit toller Wasserqualität: eingebettet in herrlicher Wald- und Wiesenlandschaft. Er lässt sich an Sa und So auch bequem mit der Räuberbahn (Bahnhaltepunkt "Hoßkirch Königseggsee") erreichen: www.raeuberbahn.de

    Traumhafte Tour im Vorfrühling. Immer wieder den Blick auf das Alpenpanorama. Die Tour ist sehr abwechlungsreich. Der neue Bannwaldturm gibt einen tollen Blick auf das Ried und die Alpen.
