I wish you good weather, because you need it in the Allgäu. As you cycle toward Saiten, you'll come across a coveted bench.

I agree with Alois. I cycled on a Sunday so there was no truck traffic. On the other hand, I encountered a lot of cars at times; in Wegscheidel, I stopped because there was a whole line of cars coming. The route to Schmidsfelden was never really quiet. It's much more pleasant via Kreuzthal.

Beautiful and surprisingly quiet in both directions, with a lovely beer garden at the Gasthof Tanne in Eisenbach near Kreuzthal. The menu is manageable, and some items are a bit pricey, but the craftsmanship is very good. The sorbet is simply fantastic; it was served very simply, and I wished there was something around it before my first bite; that would only spoil the experience.

This is one of my favorite spots, even without a bench. The only downside is the changeable Allgäu weather, which means it's rarely perfect, although the clouds do have their charm.

I cycled past it for a long time because it goes through a lot of forest. The route itself is beautiful in both directions, with plenty of options before and after.

The route near Engelwarz is attractive in both directions, depending on your taste. The descent is fantastic, but the beautiful scenery shouldn't be forgotten. The ascent is steep in places, with gradients of 10° or more.
