We stopped at the Höllbauer restaurant and enjoyed delicious ice cream. Unfortunately, the Höllbauer restaurant will be closing permanently on October 20, 2025. It's a real shame, as it was a perfect place to stop for a bite to eat.

Between Schwenden (Leuterschach) and Eschenau (Oberthingau), the Wertach River can be crossed over a small bridge. Hikers and cyclists often stop on the bridge to watch the Wertach flowing below. Since the two ramps leading up to the bridge are also high and steep, please be careful – you may need to push your bike for a bit.
