It’s new, it’s dif­fe­rent, and it has no begin­ning and no end: the All­gäu Cycle Rou­te. This 476-kilo­me­ter long-distance bike trail sets new stan­dards. Unli­ke the well-known river rou­tes, this isn’t just a tour from one point to the next, but a jour­ney that lite­ral­ly takes you through a regi­on, explo­ring its sto­ries, per­so­na­li­ties, and diver­se land­scapes. The rou­te was deve­lo­ped as a joint effort by 14 All­gäu towns and tou­rism asso­cia­ti­ons, the four All­gäu dis­tricts, and other tou­rism part­ners who have joi­n­ed forces in the Cycling Busi­ness Group under the lea­der­ship of All­gäu GmbH. Span­ning 476 kilometers—mostly on paved roads—the All­gäu Cycling Loop pas­ses through six dis­tricts in Bava­ria, as well as neigh­bor­ing Baden-Würt­tem­berg and Tyrol. Along the rou­te and right next to it lie not only world-famous sights such as Neu­schwan­stein Cast­le, but also the birth­places and places of work of distin­gu­is­hed figu­res such as the “water doc­tor” Sebas­ti­an Kneipp. Char­ming, Baro­que towns such as Bad Wurz­ach, Wan­gen, and Isny invi­te you to lin­ger. Dre­a­my vil­la­ges at the foot of bizar­re moun­tain peaks tell sto­ries of a long, respectful rela­ti­onship bet­ween peo­p­le and the moun­tain world. The focus of the All­gäu Cycle Rou­te is on enjoy­ment. To accom­mo­da­te indi­vi­du­al pre­fe­ren­ces, two main routes—the Iller and All­gäu Bike Trails—offer a total of nine pos­si­ble itin­er­ari­es. This way, every cyclist can find a rou­te with a sui­ta­ble ele­va­ti­on pro­fi­le. Addi­tio­nal­ly, the more than 50 train sta­ti­ons along the rou­te ensu­re maxi­mum fle­xi­bi­li­ty. The­re is also a com­pre­hen­si­ve net­work of e‑bike ren­tal and char­ging sta­ti­ons. We also offer this tour start­ing in Füssen

Itinerary / Stages

Day 1
Indi­vi­du­al Tra­vel to Wangen
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Arri­ve in Wan­gen at your lei­su­re and enjoy the day with a stroll through the char­ming old town.
Day 2
Wan­gen – Egloffs – Eisen­harz – Isny – Lin­den­berg – Weiler
Distanz: 59 km Höhe (+): 710m Höhe (-): 610m
Your tour beg­ins in Wan­gen im All­gäu. This pic­tures­que and careful­ly res­to­red town, with its many his­to­ric buil­dings, boasts one of the most beau­tiful street­scapes in sou­thern Ger­ma­ny. Today’s rou­te takes you first toward Egloffs. The next few kilo­me­ters will be hil­lier and more chal­len­ging. The cycling loop takes you to Isny and Mai­er­hö­fen. The gla­cier left behind rug­ged gor­ges and mys­te­rious water­falls the­re. You’ll find fur­ther details in your tra­vel docu­ments. After Lin­den­berg, you’ll reach Scheid­egg, which—when con­di­ti­ons are right—offers excel­lent wea­ther and stun­ning pan­o­r­amic views. Today’s desti­na­ti­on is Wei­ler. From here on, the chal­len­ging clim­bs of your tour begin. 
Day 3
Wei­ler — Stie­fen­ho­fen — Ober­stau­fen — Immenstadt — Ofter­schwang — Sonthofen/Blaichach
Distanz: 73 km Höhe (+): 590m Höhe (-): 490m
The tour first takes you to Sim­mer­berg; here, the rou­te beco­mes more win­ding and stee­per. The towns of Ober­reu­te, Stie­fen­ho­fen, Gen­ho­fen, and Ober­stau­fen are your next desti­na­ti­ons. The Nagel­fl­uh Ran­ge, with its moun­tain ran­ge of the same name to the south, will now be at your side. Fol­lo­wing the rail­road tracks, you’ll head to the Gro­ßer Alp­see, con­ti­nue on to Immenstadt, and fol­low the Iller River all the way to Bih­ler­dorf. You’ll con­ti­nue sou­thward, take a loop through the vil­la­ge of Ofter­schwang, and then head toward Sont­ho­fen via Fischen.

Distanz: 75 km Höhe (+): 930m Höhe (-): 800m
Today’s stage is the lon­gest and most chal­len­ging of them all. The trail along the idyl­lic river­bank just befo­re the town of Ret­ten­berg fea­tures a steep climb that offers a tas­te of what’s to come in the next few kilo­me­ters. The bike loop leads uphill to the Rott­ach­spei­cher. Your efforts will be reward­ed with a spec­ta­cu­lar view of the enti­re Ober­all­gäu regi­on. The stee­pest climb awaits you on the stretch from Habs­bichl toward Unter­joch. You’ll then cross the bor­der into Aus­tria almost imper­cep­ti­bly and ride into the Tann­hei­mer Val­ley toward Tann­heim. The return to Ger­ma­ny takes you along the Ach River through the forests and small gor­ges of the Ach Val­ley. The rou­te is as varied as it is beau­tiful. Once again, you’ll expe­ri­ence the moun­tain pan­ora­ma with its some­ti­mes rug­ged cli­ma­te befo­re rea­ching Pfron­ten and, with it, today’s destination.

Pfron­ten – Zell/Eisenberg – Hop­fen am See – Füs­sen – Ross­haup­ten – Markt­ober­dorf – Kaufbeuren
Distanz: 68 km Höhe (+): 370m Höhe (-): 550m
At the start of today’s stage, you’ll be reward­ed with a magni­fi­cent view. Pas­sing through seve­ral vil­la­ges, you’ll reach the cast­le ruins of Hohen­frey­berg and Eisen­berg. From the­re, the rou­te con­ti­nues to Hop­fen am See. Along the lake­si­de promenade—also known as the “Rivie­ra of the Allgäu”—you’ll find many cafés and restau­rants offe­ring breath­ta­king pan­o­r­amic views of the peaks of the Ammer­gau, Lech­tal, Tann­heim, and All­gäu Alps. Fields and mea­dows accom­pa­ny you all the way to Füs­sen, always with the best views of the moun­ta­ins, and on to Lake Forg­gen­see. On the other side of the lake, you’ll catch repea­ted glim­p­ses of the roy­al cast­les of Neu­schwan­stein and Hohen­schwan­gau. The bike path now takes you to Markt­ober­dorf. Fol­lo­wing the rail­road tracks, the loop rea­ches Kauf­beu­ren, mar­king the end of today’s stage. 
Day 6
Kauf­beu­ren — Bad Wöris­ho­fen — Memmingen
Distanz: 74 km Höhe (+): 500m Höhe (-): 580m
Your day trip beg­ins through Kaufbeuren’s old town and fol­lows the Wertach River toward Pfor­zen. After lea­ving the town and cycling a few kilo­me­ters, you can stop brief­ly at the Schlin­ge­ner Reser­voir to enjoy the wet­land habi­tat with its many water­fowl. Via gent­le clim­bs, forest and mea­dow paths, and views of distant moun­tain peaks, you’ll reach the health resort town of Bad Wöris­ho­fen with its wide ran­ge of spa and well­ness offe­rings, inspi­red by Pas­tor Sebas­ti­an Kneipp. Con­ti­nuing through small ham­lets, you’ll fol­low the Kneipp Bike Trail—where you’ll find num­e­rous way­si­de cros­ses bea­ring con­tem­pla­ti­ve sayings—on to the out­skirts of Otto­beu­ren, whe­re you’ll be gree­ted by the impo­sing basi­li­ca of the for­mer Impe­ri­al Abbey of Otto­beu­ren as you enter the town. The well-sign­pos­ted bike path takes you through Otto­beu­ren and on to the coun­ty seat of Mem­min­gen. The­re, num­e­rous restau­rants and cafés await you in the his­to­ric old town. 
Day 7
Mem­min­gen – Bad Grö­nen­bach – Leut­kirch – Bad Wurzach
Distanz: 61 km Höhe (+): 510m Höhe (-): 460m
Today, you’ll head south out of Mem­min­gen and cycle through the mar­ket town of Bad Grö­nen­bach, who­se land­mark is the Hohe Schloss. After Bad Grö­nen­bach, you’ll first have to tack­le one of the first chal­len­ging clim­bs to reach Ober­binn­wang and Unter­binn­wang. You’ll cycle along the Iller River to Iller­beu­ren, whe­re you can immer­se yours­elf in bygo­ne eras at the Farm Muse­um. After a rela­xing stretch of the rou­te, fol­lo­wed by more hills, you’ll reach Leut­kirch. A beau­tiful pan­o­r­amic view will now accom­pa­ny you all the way to Bad Wurz­ach. The cast­le in Bad Wurz­ach, who­se cen­ter­pie­ce is the grand stair­ca­se, is well worth a visit. 
Day 8
Bad Wurz­ach — Kiß­legg — Wol­fegg — Wald­burg — Wangen
Distanz: 67 km Höhe (+): 700m Höhe (-): 800m
Today’s stage beg­ins hea­ding toward Krat­ten­wei­ler and Zie­gel­bach, with Kieß­legg as the next major desti­na­ti­on. The rou­te also takes you past seve­ral ponds whe­re you can swim, such as the Holz­müh­le­wei­her. On the way from Wol­fegg to Wald­burg, on the hill whe­re the Lore­to Cha­pel stands, you’ll have a gre­at view of the Zug­spit­ze mas­sif and the Ber­ne­se Alps if the wea­ther is nice. Con­ti­nue fol­lo­wing the bike loop until you return to your start­ing point in Wan­gen, having gathe­red many won­derful memo­ries along the way.

Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your advice and for orga­ni­zing our All­gäu cycling tour from June 18–24, 2021! It was a very scenic cycling tour. All the accom­mo­da­ti­ons and lug­ga­ge trans­port work­ed out per­fect­ly! Thank you so much for that! The indi­vi­du­al dai­ly stages were a chall­enge for us, even with e‑bikes! With a few minor short­cuts (skip­ping the Sonthofen–Oberstdorf leg and taking the direct rou­te from Weit­p­rechts to Wol­fegg), we com­ple­ted the enti­re tour. The accom­mo­da­ti­ons are loca­ted clo­se to the cycling route—which was also gre­at. We weren’t always able to loca­te the atta­ched map excerp­ts per­fect­ly. The accom­mo­da­ti­on in Bad Wöris­ho­fen was won­derful in every way, inclu­ding secu­re sto­rage for the bikes. The Baye­ri­scher Hof inn in Leut­kirch is loca­ted right on the rou­te, but its stan­dard dif­fers signi­fi­cant­ly from the others. The break­fasts are real­ly good! On June 23, we rea­ched Wan­gen again by noon and deci­ded to head home. We real­ly enjoy­ed it—thank you so much! We’­re giving it 5 stars.
