    Wirklich landschftlich tolle Runde. Leider sind einige Kilometer "am Straßenrand" abzuspulen. Dafür erreicht man, wie beschrieben, viele bemerkenswerte Rampen im Umkreis, einschließlich "Klimmacher Wand" und "Prügelberg" - die Namen sind Programm

    Sehr abwechslungsreiche Route aber mit manchmal langwierigen Passagen in waldigem Gelände neben der Wertach. Übernachtung im "Kurhotel Kaiser" (eBike-freundlich, günstig) in Bad Wörishofen nach 92 km, am nächsten Tag die restliche Strecke.

    Die sehr schöne Tour die meistens durch den schattigen Wald führt ist bei hoch sommerlichen Temperaturen ideal. Ein paar steilere Anstiege sind mit dem E-Bike kein Problem.

    Ein schöner Fernradweg, meistens entlang der Wertach auf Kies- und Schotterwegen. Ich habe mich auf der Tour von der App navigieren lassen, sonst wäre ich ein paar mal falsch gefahren. Aber so hieß es: "Sie verlassen die Route, die Route liegt 20m hinter Ihnen." Also zurück und die richtige Abzweigung nehmen. Angenehm war bei dem warmen Wetter die Fahrt durch die schattigen Auwälder.

    Sehr entspannte Runde über die Dörfer ab Augsburg. Überwiegend über Radwege oder ruhige Dorfstraßen. Einige Anstiege sind dabei, aber nie zu steil oder lang. Landschaftlich lohnenswert.

    Erste Etappe von Leitershofen nach Reinertshofen. Bei spätherbstlichem Nebelwetter und angenehmen Wandertemperaturen eine reizvolle Strecke durch die westlichen Wälder bei Augsburg. Bedingt durch die Jahreszeit kaum andere Wanderer unterwegs, in den Monaten Mai bis Oktober sind auf dem Streckenteil zwischen Anhausen und Burgwalden oft viele Ausflügler zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad anzutreffen, da fühlt man sich manchmal dann eher als Teilnehmer an einem Volkslauf. Weg ist auf diesem Teil gut ausgeschildert.
