Steingaden - Lechbruck - Neuschwanstein 2009
Wonderful farmland with lakes and forests, cows and horses, delightful little villages, some big views, which finishes aimed toward the most spectacular castle in Europe -- mostly avoiding high-traffic roads. We did this as one section of a single-day loop ride of 111 km (or less) which returned to Steingaden by way of Austria and Oberammergau.
For more detail and connections to other routes, see www.roberts-1.com/b/x/de - routeID [denpoc]. Also check the labels on route points or on the Cue Sheet for warnings and alternate route possibilities.
Some steep climbing sections, which we think are well rewarded by big views, fun downhills, and interesting quiet roads. But to avoid much of the steepness (but less interesting and much more motor traffic noise) we've also done an alternate route more direct: Steingaden - Halblech - Neuschwanstein: can search on Bikely for [denpoc2].
For the other two sections of the loop, search on Bikely for [denpoa], [denpob].
We've done it once so far: the track given is from our GPS. We thought the full loop was a great ride so we're sharing it, but it's possible there are some mistakes or problems we didn't notice. This route not checked by us since 2009.
