This section of the Acid Trail in the Weilheimer Moos is also part of the German Sports Badge, which is awarded annually by TSV Weilheim. In addition to the 9 to 10 Friday events each year at the TSV stadium (May until the beginning of the summer holidays, with a break during the Whitsun holidays), there are also 2 cycling events (also on Fridays). Meet at 5 p.m. at the Hochlandhalle, ride together to the moor, and then two competitions: One for the "Speed" category: 200m sprint with a flying start on the "full throttle segment" Followed by the "Endurance" category: 10km lap through the moor (see photos for route) with a standing start, children/youths once, adults twice for a total of 20km. The "full throttle segment" is the last straight before the start and finish, effectively the home stretch. This year's cycling dates were May 30th and July 11th: Date 1: Sprint: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2284391331 Endurance: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2284628788 Date 2: Endurance: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2396116861 If you'd like to participate in the sports badge (starting again next year in May), you can find all the information here: https://www.tsv-weilheim.com/sportabzeichen/infos-zum-sportabzeichen/ P.S. With the two scores for speed and endurance during a cycling session, you've already fulfilled 50% of the sports badge requirements.

The "Hoher Peißenberg" is a popular excursion destination in the Pfaffenwinkel region and a popular destination for road bikers. From here, you have a fantastic panoramic view of the Alpine foothills and the Alpine chain. Even the ascent is very scenic. The pilgrimage church of the Assumption of Mary dominates the summit plateau.
