    Eine sehr schöne Tour! Start- und Zielpunkt gut mit ÖPNV zu erreichen. Genügend Zeit einplanen; in Donauwörth gibt es viel zu sehen! Überraschend zwei steile Anstiege auf dem normalerweise eher gemächlichen Donau-Radweg. Bei Schloss Leitheim kann man bei schönem Wetter auf der Terrasse speisen (nicht billig!!!). Die ehemalige Abtei Niederschönenfeld sieht von fern aus wie Oberschönenfeld in den Westlichen Wäldern, ist aber ein Gefängnis, und zum Essen gab es da auch nichts... Das Örtchen Rain lohnt eine Stippvisite; an der Hauptstraße gibt es sehr leckeres Eis. In Langweid gibt es des "Lechmuseum" als Teil des UNESCO-Welterbes "Wassermanagement Augsburg". Ist leider nur am 1. Sonntag eines Monats geöffnet.

    Sehr schöne Runde auf durchwegs sehr guten Wegen. Nur zwischen Marxheim und Donauwörth einige anstrengende Steigungen. Kein Problem für E-Biker. Empfehlenswert.

    Wunderschöne Streckenführung, die immer wieder auch durch kleinere Orte führt. Ohne Navi wäre es manchmal schwierig geworden bzw. wir wären dem (weniger schönen) offiziellen Weg gefolgt, z.B. entlang von Bundesstraßen. Wir haben uns 10 Tage Zeit genommen, was mit Zelt und Gepäck auch gut machbar war. Herrliche Ausblicke, unbedingt zu empfehlen!

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour! Highlights waren die Wallfahrtskirche in Biberbach und das Kloster Holzen, wo ich eine längere Pause eingelegt habe. Die Tour ist bis auf wenige kleinere, kurze Steigungen durchweg eben und sehr angenehm zu fahren. Von Donauwörth bin ich dann mit dem Regionalzug nach Augsburg zurück gefahren. Sehr empfehlenswerte Tour!
