I was hoping for more from the city center, nothing special. At least there was some delicious ice cream from the local ice cream parlor, good for a quick break on the bike :)

The grave of the Allgäu priest, H. Hieber, in Merazhofen is a must-visit. The many thank-you plaques invite you to converse with him. Many healings have occurred.

Pretty, tidy old town with lots of cosy corners, well-preserved buildings worth seeing, city wall towers etc. It is worth taking a walk through the streets, with a break in a café or beer garden.
