With this weather, a small tour to explore the area is just right. So off we went via Apfeltrang to the Elbsee, a very pretty route with a great view of the Alpine panorama. The paths on the tour are 98% paved and easy to drive. Luckily the wind held back a bit today and so it was really comfortable …

July 31, 2023,Am Bärensee – Wertachschleife Runde von Oberbeuren

The first round in the Allgäu. After that, Huijuijui's boppes hurt and all the grains were gone. But it can only get better.

It started today from Kaufbeuren in the direction of Apfeltrang, then up to the Bergmangalpe. From there you have a wonderful view of the Allgäu foothills of the Alps. There's also the opportunity to stop by 🍺☕️🍔
We continued through the forest 🌲🌳 and corridor towards Elbsee.

Here there is the opportunity for swimming and leisure time.
