    Macht Spaß, über die Bahntrassen zu radeln. Wir sind ab Kaufbeuren im Uhrzeigersinn geradelt. Bei 35 Grad wollten wir dann abkürzen, sind dann bis Ingenried geradelt, dann der Schlosspark gefolgt bis Stötten, was bei der Hitze keine gute Entscheidung war, da viele Steigungen,xallerdings grandiose Ausblicke, toll. Zurück auf der Dampflockrunde. Sehr empfehlenswert

    Sehr schöne Runde durch idyllische Dörfchen und pittoreske Landschaften. Für Jedermann, da komplett ohne Steigungen. Mehrere Möglichkeiten für eine Einkehr unterwegs. Volle Punktzahl von uns Beiden.
