Are you not put off by longer stages and a few meters in altitude? Then the sporty Allgäu tour by bike is just the thing for you. And you will be rewarded for it! Experience an abundance of scenic and cultural highlights in the midst of wonderful nature. Explore the most beautiful corners of the Allgäu on two wheels. The route leads along quiet paths past lush green meadows - only the sound of grazing cows can be heard. Every sweat you work up on the often long and steep climbs is promptly rewarded: the views of the surrounding valleys, rivers and lakes will inspire you! Visit the castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau and stroll through Kempten, one of the oldest towns in Germany. Cycle through idyllic little villages that place great value on tradition and customs. These include culinary specialties from the regional cuisine. Treat yourself to hearty Allgäuer Kässpatzen and sweet Nonnenfürzle after a sporty stage, accompanied by a glass of local beer, and you will feel invigorated for the next day of your sporty Allgäu tour.

Itinerary

Day 1

Individual arrival in Kressbronn

Welcome to your Sporty Allgäu tour by bike. Arrive early to Kressbronn. This gives you the opportunity to stroll through the peaceful vacation resort or take a refreshing dip in the lake. Take a trip to nearby Friedrichshafen and learn more about the history of airship travel with a visit to the Zeppelin Museum.

Day 2

Kressbronn – Oberstaufen

approx. 65 km

Let's set off on the first stage of your sporty Allgäu tour by bike. First, you cycle leisurely along the lakeshore to Lindau. Take a stroll through the old town, which is located on an island, and visit the town's landmark - the Lion Monument. You leave Lake Constance and cycle into the enchanting Allgäu region. A few meters in altitude past lush green meadows and grazing cows accompany you on your way to Oberstaufen. Learn more about the production of delicious mountain cheese in a show dairy (not included). Of course, you can also taste it.

Day 3

Oberstaufen – Nesselwang – Füssen

approx. 75 km

This stage of your sporty Allgäu tour begins on flat paths through the valley of the Konstanzer Aach. You cycle past the Großer Alpsee lake to Immenstadt. Affectionately known as Städtle by the locals, you can fortify yourself in a café in the historic town center. Afterwards, you will have to climb a few more meters before you reach the highest point of the tour at Oy-Mittelberg. With magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, you cycle to Füssen. From afar, you can see Neuschwanstein Castle, built high on a mountain.

Day 4

Füssen – Kempten

approx. 70 km

You cycle along the Forggensee, Germany's largest reservoir, through the beautiful Allgäu countryside. From Marktoberdorf, the route leads through the Kempten forest. You can expect a few meters in altitude again. Once you arrive in Kempten, the efforts of the day are almost forgotten. The lively Roman town is full of life and history. Visit the state rooms of the residence before indulging in local delicacies in one of the many rustic restaurants.

Day 5

Kempten – Kressbronn

approx. 100 km

You cycle up to the European watershed between the Rhine and Danube on a disused railroad line. From here, most of the last stage of your sporty Allgäu tour is all downhill. Cycle leisurely through Isny, a town with medieval roots and historic walls. Pass by the traditional town of Wangen with its picturesque old town before crossing Germany's southernmost hop-growing region. You will reach your destination of Kressbronn or Nonnenhorn on beautiful Lake Constance along idyllic paths with numerous orchards.

Day 6

Individual departure

After breakfast, your sporty Allgäu tour by bike is unfortunately over. If you would like to relax and look back on the last few days, we will be happy to book you an extra night.
