Key facts of the tour
At 60 kilometres, this circular tour in the Iller and Rottal valleys is particularly suitable for e-bike riders. There are some steep climbs with a maximum elevation gain of 500 metres, but you will be rewarded with beautiful views of the landscape. The lively Swabian Farm Museum is very popular, where you can experience how historical farming with farm animals and plant cultivation was practised. You can also take a refreshing dip in the River Iller at the beach in Illerbeuren.

Otherwise, this cycle tour takes you through beautiful and unspoilt forests, past farmsteads and along streams and rivers. Historic walls and church art tell stories. And there is no shortage of culinary delights in this Upper Swabian region.

If you are more than four cyclists, you should also register at Josepp's Brauhaus restaurant shortly before the start of the tour, telephone: 08331 9278103.
