Boardwalks through the reed belt at Elbsee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

For me the highlight, because you are walking through a "sea" of reeds! Where else can you get it?

Iller gravel bank

Highlight • Beach

Nice to cool off in the Iller, as you can walk in here flat. The place is often used by day trippers for swimming and sunbathing.

Nice, short wooden footbridge over the water. You are only informed shortly before the start that cyclists are not welcome here. It would be better to announce this much earlier. I then pushed my bike over the footbridge, which was no problem as there were hardly any pedestrians around.
