The highlight of this relaxing tour was the Untere Argen reservoir and in particular the Argensee hiking trail (on the east side).

The start and finish was a free car park in Christazhofen near the St. Mauritius Church.

With only about 100 meters of elevation and a length of about 9 km, it was the ideal final tour.

Of course I couldn't miss the parish church "St. Mauritius" at the starting point in Christazhofen with its baroque high altar 😂. …
