Today’s cycle tour connects five small cheese factories, which still make the Allgäu Emmental-cheese and the Bergkäse-cheese from regional milk sources in a traditional manner. A tasting of these culinary specialities is of course a must. The cycle path leads you past cow pastures and through farming hamlets to Seeg with its lovely Rococo-church. In addition to cuisine and culture another beautiful bathing spot awaits at the Schwaltenweiher-pond.
