Variants into Traufbachtal and Dietersbachtal reward you with rustic Alps and spectacular mountain scenery. No less impressive is the ride through the Stillachtalwhich, with its car-free paths, is ideal for leisure cyclists. If you fancy more, you can cycle on to the remote Rappenalptal or even to Einödsbach, the southernmost village in Germany.

Pure nature: Rohrmoos and Lochbachtal

There are also attractive routes away from the well-known valleys. The Rohrmoos cycle tour leads into a secluded valley with a historic chapel, while the variant to the Piesenalpe is particularly rustic. Those looking for peace and nature will find it in Lochbachtal, which is ideal for longer tours thanks to its secluded location.

Iller valley route by Anja

War eine sehr schöne Tour, überwiegend abseits vom Verkehr. Sehr gute Wege. Absolut empfehlenswert! Wir haben diese Tour ein wenig ausgebaut und einen Abstecher ins Stillachtal gemacht.
