Wie in der Rezession vorher möchte ich sagen: eine schöne Tour. Aber auch mein Hinweis: nicht von Penzing nach Landsberg fahren. Der Vorschlag über Kaufring ist gut. Allerdings könnte man auch, bevor man nach Kaufring kommt, links abbiegen und über Sandau nach Landsberg fahren. Dann spart man sich insbesondere in Landsberg den Aufstieg an der alten bzw. Neuen Bergstrasse. Noch ein wichtiger Hinweis: zu Ende dieses Jahres bzw. mit Beginn nächsten Jahres wird ein straßenbegleitender Radweg zwischen Schwifting und Finning neu gebaut.

Die Gegend um Windach und der Ort selber ist wunderschön. Die Strecke ist sehr gut auch über den breiten Forstweg zu gehen. Den kleinen Weg am Bach haben wir oft nicht gefunden…

Schöne Idee von Geltendorf nach Landsberg am Lech zu fahren. Routen Führung an kleinen Stellen verbesserbar. Gründe diese Tour zu machen: angenehme Straßen, viele Öko Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Landsberg am Lech. Der Rückweg von Landsberg nach Geltendorf ist ein besonders gut ausgebauter Radweg.

Nach längerem Dauerregen war die Strecke durch den Wald teilweise etwas matschig. Ansonsten sehr schöne Tour. Die Fliehburg habe ich so endlich gefunden, nachdem ich sie früher vergeblich gesucht hatte.
