Tips from the Community
The route from Krugzell to Herbisried goes moderately uphill but is still beautiful. In the other direction, it is perfect with some mountain views, although the mountains are rather small. Car traffic is tolerable up to Reicholzried and quite quiet after that. In good weather, there are many motorcycles on the road. Sun-seekers from the northern Unterallgäu usually stop at the edge of the forest before Herbisried and go hiking.

My brother and I only ride this route to and from Wolfertschwenden because it is much quieter. The main road is horrible, especially uphill.

I live in Kempten and my brother in Memmingen. We avoid the road, especially uphill, because even cars have trouble overtaking and you see oncoming traffic late. A truck behind you is a nightmare because you cannot pull over. This is the main road to and from the motorway towards Böhen and beyond. If you do ride this road, only do it downhill; it's really fun because you are as fast as the cars.

Perfect with the whole family, with friends or even alone, because besides donkeys and alpacas, you can catch a great alpine view here. For a short break, there is everything from coffee, delicious regional farm ice cream, and seasonal farm products in a covered hut. Perfect is the option to pay for everything with coins, bills, or cashless. It can't get any better - great place
