My date from 2025 was total nonsense, my brother and I cycled in 2026 towards Buxheim to the construction site when the construction workers had finished for the day. Do not ride during the day under any circumstances, it is far too dangerous. The detour via Heimertingen still exists and probably also until next year. It could become really beautiful when it is finished, whenever that may be.

The weir upstream is being redesigned, and there will be quiet riverside areas with swimming spots. This could be completed by 2025. There is still a bicycle diversion sign in the direction of Heimertingen.
