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.

Beautiful path along through fields and past the Roman Catholic pilgrimage chapel of the Holy Cross. Partly you have a good view of the mountains of the Alps.

The Roman Catholic pilgrimage chapel of the Holy Cross is located in Pless in Upper Swabia in the district of Unterallgäu (Bavaria). The chapel is a listed building and is located on the Kreuzkapellenweg, which connects Pless with Fellheim. In memory of the supposed miraculous healing of a blind child, the father vowed to donate a new field cross at this point. Because of the miraculous healing, a pilgrimage developed, which led to the construction of the chapel in 1685. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zum_Heiligen_Kreuz_(Ple%C3%9F) p.s. Komoot does not include the ")" in the link, it still has to be inserted manually.
