    Ich bin die Route von Marktoberdorf bis Kempten geradelt im Anschluss an die Strecke von Füssen bis Marktoberdorf (siehe hierzu die Tour 'Radrunde Allgäu - Etappe 1'). Die Allgäu-Tour lässt sich hervorragend mit den übrigen Routen 'Radrunde Allgäu- Etappen 2-7' und 'May-Nui 04 Allgäu 2015' kombinieren. Die Strecke von Marktoberdorf verlief auf kaum bis mäßig befahrenen Straßen mit sanften Steigungen und Gefällen durch schöne Landschaft. Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen! 👍

    Habe die Tour durch eine kurze Anfahrt und einen weiteren "Gipfel" ergänzt. Glaube so viele Hm findet man sonst selten in einer Tour in der Gegend. Wer aber auf Trails hofft, sollte es vielleicht unter der Woche fahren. Es gäbe ein paar Möglichkeiten, die aber leider gesperrt sind und am WE auch recht gut, durch Wanderer, besucht sind...
