July 6, 2025, Günzach Station – Highest Double-Track Railway Station in Germany

We didn't hike the tour from Obergünzburg. We drove to Günzach at Aitrangerstrasse 21 and hiked from there. It was about 9 km and took us about 2.5 hours.

Nice moderate climb with little traffic from Günzach to Aitrang. Great way to bypass the main road between Günzach and Kraftisried 😎👌

From the mouth to the source, if you ride a mountain bike close to the river, it is 95 km and every km is an experience

Hourly connections during the day with Kempten and Kaufbeuren/Augsburg. The station even has 3 tracks; to be more precise, it is the highest station on a double-track line in Germany
