View of Bannwaldsee and the Alps

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Northeast of Füssen is the beautiful Bannwaldsee. You can swim in it, a campsite invites you to linger. And of course it's also nice to just cycle past it. The view is magnificent in all directions.

Great starting point for hikes! The hut is run by two sisters and you are warmly welcomed. The rooms are clean, the breakfast is delicious and the beer is great: berggasthof-kenzenhuette.de.

On the way to or from the Kenzenhütte you will pass a wonderful alpine meadow. A lovely place for a break and a perfect spot for photos with an Alpine panorama.

August 28, 2024,#2 Kenzenhütte – Auffahrt zur Kenzehütte Runde von Schwangau

This was the most beautiful route I have ever ridden. However, it should be approached with caution by inexperienced riders. Up to 20% gradient is not easy, but 20% gradient (on the way back) on gravel is not for beginners.
But the view and the hut (which was the destination), which offers drinks and food at reasonable prices, makes up …

At up to 19° and 🌤️⛅️🌧️🌤️ weather, we went from Schwangau up to Kenzenhütte.

The ascent from Buching to Kenzenhütte is partly challenging, but the landscape and the views are rewarding.
Water accompanies you for a large part of the way, especially beautiful is the path along the Halblech with some water inlets.

The only tricky point: at the Bockstallsee you have to carry your bikes up a few steps

Through the Halblech valley and Lobentalbach, on to the Wankerflecke + the Buchenberg. A somewhat strenuous but beautiful bike tour. The last ascent to the Buchenberg in particular was a challenge, but it was rewarded with a delicious Kaiserschmarrn.
