Bannwald Cycle Route: Ostrach–Königseggwald

A short, easy roll across Upper Swabia linking Ostrach and Königseggwald. It’s roughly 5 km, mostly on quiet roads with a bit of access road, and gentle ups and downs (~46 m gain). Perfect for a quick spin, a family-friendly ride, or as a connector to longer routes. Surfaces are mixed: some smooth asphalt plus rural lanes—fine on most bikes; wider tires feel comfy. You’ll skirt fields and forest edges (the “Bannwald” name nods to the local woodland), with calm traffic and open views. Start in Ostrach and head west toward Königseggwald; both villages work well as meet-up points. Keep an eye out for farm traffic and take it easy through residential stretches. Want more? Extend on nearby backroads toward the Ried wetlands or link into broader Oberschwaben routes.
