October 23, 2025, Cycle Path Between Ramsach and Eresing

An idyllic little road between the two towns. It mostly runs through forest and some fields. The asphalt is of good quality and rolls along smoothly.

The Sandau Gate is a five-story gate tower dating from 1627/28 and marks the northern end of the town wall of Landsberg am Lech 🏰. The northern town wall dates from the late Middle Ages and is well-preserved to this day – with towers, battlements, and ramparts.

Cycle path into Stegen, be careful of the many pedestrians and other traffic. On weekends, it's as busy here as the Oktoberfest.
