When the Allgäu weather gods are kind, the view all the way to the Oberstdorf mountains is breathtaking. It's always quiet here, and from Niso, there are several beautiful routes to Kempten. However, I always ride the climb from Hellengerst to Ettensberg; the climb is more pleasant there, and the descent to Niso is simply breathtaking.

Beautiful and surprisingly quiet in both directions, with a lovely beer garden at the Gasthof Tanne in Eisenbach near Kreuzthal. The menu is manageable, and some items are a bit pricey, but the craftsmanship is very good. The sorbet is simply fantastic; it was served very simply, and I wished there was something around it before my first bite; that would only spoil the experience.
