Here you have to push up a bit or drive on a steel ramp. And then cross the Iller Canal on a narrow bridge.

The Iller is always worth a detour. The entire Iller cycle path is highly recommended.

Never start or end a bike tour in Ulm or on the Illerradweg on Schwörmontag. The bike paths / roads / city center are overcrowded with people and inflatable boats. No passage ‼️

Beautiful tour from Illertissen to Ulm along the Iller, unfortunately the path is only gravel but it is easy to ride on. The scenery is very beautiful.
