Important. The bridge will be closed from 01.06.2026 for approx. 4 weeks due to renovation. Via Hegge you can reach the Illerradweg or via the Iller towards Öschle and Sulzberg. From Weidach via St. Mang to Kempten.

A very interesting castle ruin. It is very much worth a visit. :) If you want to know more about the castle, feel free to watch our documentary. https://youtu.be/KuT3UMiuR5Y

Always these descriptions. Unassuming from the outside. But. I am not a friend of superlatives, but it is truly beautiful here. It can hold its own with the fantastic churches in Nesselwang and Obergünzburg. Very varied with paintings, stucco on the gallery and on the ceiling with murals. Side altars, balconies and the Way of the Cross.

When the Allgäu weather gods are kind, the view all the way to the Oberstdorf mountains is breathtaking. It's always quiet here, and from Niso, there are several beautiful routes to Kempten. However, I always ride the climb from Hellengerst to Ettensberg; the climb is more pleasant there, and the descent to Niso is simply breathtaking.

The road between Niso and Eckarts is finally finished, and the curves near Dietzen in particular can now be driven on without any fear.

The Iller Bridge, resembling a railway bridge, is a metal structure that invites you to drive or walk through it. It's also a great place to take a photo as a souvenir.
