The best cycling routes around Obergünzburg

For me, the most important thing is what Michael writes about the Iller Cycle Path. It's boring, with lots of forested stretches and no view. It's only usable from Immenstadt onward. The Günz Valley Cycle Path is varied, but it can get crowded on weekends.

Natascha's poor view is as much a part of the Allgäu as cheese. The weather here is very changeable, and even I, a Kempten native, am rarely blessed with a clear view. If you want consistently good weather, you'll have to go to Florida. Whoever rated Natascha's photos negatively hasn't given any thought to the harsh Allgäu weather.

Delicious cheese, as well as quark, yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, and potatoes, are available at the Untrasried dairy. The Emmental cheese with its many holes is particularly good here.

It's hard to imagine how large the small stream can become before it flows into the Danube. A foot bath in the ice-cold water is refreshing and recharges your batteries on your bike. :-)

Ottobeuren Market Square / Market Chronicle Probably none of the visitors who stay in Ottobeuren today, for a shorter or longer period of time, can imagine how this approximately 1,500-year-old, historic town was founded. When visitors arrive in Ottobeuren from all directions by private car, taxi, or bus, their first gaze is usually drawn to the mighty basilica with its monastery buildings. No one considers that the very ground they have just set foot on was once impassable terrain, moorland, swamp, and densely wooded area. Nevertheless, a man had dared to gain a foothold here, clear the forest, and establish a human settlement. What Stone Age hunters and fishers had failed to achieve much earlier—namely, to settle here—had become the life's work of a man named Uot. At the site where the market square stands today, the first giant trees soon collapsed under the axe blows of the Uot farmers. Huts were built from rough beams, livestock was raised, and fields were cultivated. Only a few huts in the middle of the forest housed the Uot clan. Uot, the Swabian, founded Ottobeuren in the 5th century. Text / Source: Ottobeuren Tourist Office, Marktplatz 14, Ottobeuren https://www.ottobeuren.de/de/marktgemeinde/rathaus/markt-chronik.php

I prefer shopping in Sellthürn because it's quieter than in Immenthal. Combined with a tour from Kempten, it's simply perfect.

Sellthürn is a pleasantly quiet place to shop, and the bike path is beautiful. Tastes differ. I won't be shopping in Immenthal anymore, as it can take a long time due to the large crowds. That's why the simple, rustic seating area can be uncomfortable. It's next to the door with no physical separation from the store.

In future, I will buy this fantastic cheese at a reasonable price directly in Sellthürn, as it is much quieter there. The selection is great, the small seating area not so much. The door is next to it and was either open or constantly opening and closing. A small wooden wall would make the whole place more comfortable, especially after sweating on your bike. The cheese platter is good, but the largest piece was a thick slice of dry hard cheese, and there were two half slices of bread for the various cheeses. I had to order another one. I took the hard cheese with me. There was just too much. I was bothered by the crowds, especially when the line went right up to the front door. Luckily, I had already paid, so I was able to leave right away.
