Very nice tour, but the designated path is blocked off twice with barbed wire.

In 2024, the bike park was spruced up a bit and a large section was paved, making it ideal for children.

The glassmaking village of Schmidsfelden near Leutkirch in the Allgäu region is a lovingly restored ensemble of historic glassmakers' houses and a magnificent glassworks, which now serves as a museum and manufactory. Visitors experience the art of glassmaking up close – from furnace demonstrations to blowing their own glass in the studio. The village, which boasts a glassmaking tradition dating back to 1678, offers a unique destination for young and old, with colorful glass objects in the gardens, a charming café, and a museum steeped in glass history.

To my shame, I must admit that I rarely ride on gravel roads, but this route is beautiful in both directions. The surface is very good, and nothing has changed since the 2024 landslide.

That was a shame. I was here in May, and the gondola was parked in front of the bank. It was standing on stones, and it wasn't advertising a stall.
