In the penultimate photo you can see a path in the mountain: the Laufbacher-Eck-Weg, one of the most spectacular paths in this area.

July 21, 2024,durch das Rohrmoostal in den Bregenzerwald 🚴‍♂️

I would have liked to do another bike & hike tour today, but the weather app reported unstable weather from late afternoon onwards, and I didn't want to risk that.
So there was a bike tour starting in the early morning hours.
From Gunzesried we went via Ofterschwang, Bolsterlang and Obermeiselstein into the beautiful Rohrmoostal 🤩🤗
Past the Alpe Schattwald …

I really wanted to use what was probably the last warm and beautiful autumn day. Since the Rohrmoosrunde had been on the wish list for a long time, that was the choice of the day.
It was great. Hardly anything going on, except from Oberstaufen 😖🙈 but it was never far from there anyway.
Uuuund: I've learned something again! 🤓 …

Wow, it starts with the deer jump to Tiefenbach, then up the Rohrmoostal. Wonderful - couldn't stop looking. More nature around every corner. 😎

Komoot lost me 10km from the finish 😩. You can find the full route on the website of my "participant," Hilmar Schneider. It was ultimately 92.4km.
The route around and through the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park runs almost entirely on paved paths, which are also used by cars, and offers fantastic views of the mountains. The St. Anne Chapel, dating from …

The highlight today is the Rohrmoossattel. It runs a little south of the more famous Riedbergpass and is not quite as steep. It is also a toll road and is practically free of motorized traffic. More information:
