My absolute favorite of the bike paths in the area. Only tarmac, top condition, lots of shade when the temperature is higher, very idyllic nature... I love the tours that include the Welden cycle path 👍🔝

The deeper parts of the lake are mainly used for swimming. There are sunbathing areas with an average width of 30 m over a length of 800 m. The winter-proof design of the changing rooms and toilet facilities makes ice sports on the lake ideal during frost periods.

Car-free ride through the forests with a pleasant climb and descent between Augsburg (Neusäß) and Welden. In addition to the towns, food is also available in the old Horgau train station, which has been converted into a day trip café. Suitable for families - especially because of the route's safety in front of the inevitable (but overall few) road crossings! Although it is precisely there that the trailer suitability suffers a little. I, for one, enjoy every ride on this cycle path.

The former Neusäß–Welden railway line is also known as the Weldenbahn. The dismantling of the tracks began in spring 1987. There are still some dismantled but never removed track remains near Adelsried station. The Weldenbahn has largely been preserved as an asphalt cycle path. This is known as the Landrat-Dr.-Frey cycle path and is also popular with inline skaters.

This cycle path is like a motorway and is great to ride on even in summer as large parts of it are in the shade!
