The cycle paths are very passable.
It goes almost exclusively through forest and past rocks. There is almost always a view of the Urftsee.
There are also always nice places where benches (sometimes with tables) can be found. Just perfect for a leisurely break.
There are sufficient signs for various routes everywhere.
Just a dream tour.
