For me, the most important thing is what Michael writes about the Iller Cycle Path. It's boring, with lots of forested stretches and no view. It's only usable from Immenstadt onward. The Günz Valley Cycle Path is varied, but it can get crowded on weekends.

It's hard to imagine how large the small stream can become before it flows into the Danube. A foot bath in the ice-cold water is refreshing and recharges your batteries on your bike. :-)

A great bakery! They don't just serve bread and rolls here – they also serve cakes and sweet pastries (Danish pastries, poppy seed rolls, American rolls, quark dumplings, and... and... even Leberkäse (hot, of course) and three lunch options. They even had ice cream! Opening hours: Weekdays from 6:00 a.m. Sundays from 7:30 a.m. Highly recommended!
