Tour tip

Two real Allgau people, a real Dakar winning vehicle and a really great tour through the Oberallgau. The Alps here: sugar-sweet and sometimes unreal like a photo wallpaper. Recommended starting point: the Jochpass.

This very varied round leads across the southern Allgau and partly through neighboring Austria. With the Riedbergpass you climb Germany’s highest pass road (1407 meters) by motorcycle. On the way there are numerous places to stop for refreshments and good places for longer breaks, for example at the Grober Alpsee. The roads are mostly well developed and can be mastered without any problems even for heavy motorcycles such as cruisers as well as for inexperienced drivers, despite some thoroughbred alpine routes.

Travel time: approx. 5 hours / route: 170 km

It starts at the parking lot at the Oberjoch mud bath

> at the roundabout towards Bad Hindelang

> a few kilometers of the finest alternating curves on the Jochstrabe (depending on the time of day or holiday season, however, the pass can be heavily frequented by car traffic and there are only a few opportunities to overtake

> on to Sonthofen (we paid rally team builder Holger Roth a visit to his motorcycle workshop in the Margarethen district)

> on the B 308 through Sonthofen-Stadtmitte and then on Illerstrabe towards Bihlerdorf

> Cross the Iller and turn left towards Sonthofener See, Westerhofen and Ofterschwang

> on through the stimulating alpine landscape to Bolsterlang to Obermaiselstein

> up the Riedbergpass with umpteen wonderful combinations of curves and great, smooth asphalt

> The landscape opens up with a great panorama just before Balderschwang (there is an opportunity to take a break and rest)

> in Hittisau (already Austria) keep right and immediately turn right again from the 205 on the branch line (L 22) to Galle, Eggling and Niemans

> at Neuhaus again on the 205 towards Aach im Allgau and on the St 2005 via Weissach to Oberstaufen

> in Buflings again on the St 2005 to the north via Stiefenhofen and then on the St 2001 towards Ebratshofen

> Before Sibratshofen turn right towards Missen on St 2006

> Turn left in the direction of Borlas and the Allgauer Bergbauernmuseum, then south via Diepolz to Knottenried (great miniature roads with a partially grandiose alpine backdrop!)

> left on St 2006 towards Immenstadt (winding route downhill with a view of the Grober Alpsee)

> good resting places on the shores of the Great Alpsee, well worth a detour!

> through Immenstadt towards B 19, but only cross the federal road and continue on St 2006 towards Rettenberg (Zotler-Bier and Brauereigasthof)

> Follow the attractive, well-developed pass road with the Grunten mountain on the right via Kranzegg to Wertach

> Past the Gruntensee to Nesselwang, then to the southeast on the B 309 towards Pfronten

> Leave the B 309 to the right into the Achtal and take the beautiful valley road to the German-Austrian border, then to Gran (Austria)

> Continue through the village to the T-junction and turn right into the Tannheimer Tal

> Take a leisurely pace, roll through the Tannheimer Tal on Landesstrabe 199, embedded in a beautiful mountain setting (last cheap refueling option in Austria: Schattwald), back to Oberjoch to the parking lot at the Moorbad
