The place name Zellen refers to a former monk's cell. On the lake shore near Zellen there was a parish church called Zellin, the place belonged to Linsen in 1356, as a plaque there indicates (Wikipedia: Niedersonthofner See).

There is not much to write about this. Entertaining round around the lake, mostly on gravel paths.

From there always along the shore until you arrive back at the starting point after about 1.5 hours

A very nice hiking trail. 🥾 We passed a cute chapel ⛪️. The bells 🔔 of the Allgäu pasture cattle can be heard 🐮🐮
& it is very quiet and idyllic. We were able to see the lake 💦 in varied 🐠 perspectives. 🥰⛰️☀️
