Storchenrunde - 30 km

Along the old Ammer, you can cycle comfortably and, in the meantime, discover numerous storks that are foraging in the remnants of the floodplain forest. The stork route towards Ammersee is, as the name suggests, dedicated to the stork. This 30 km bike tour leads from the west of Weilheim along the Ammer, passing through Raisting, Stillern, and Lichtenau before returning to the original starting point. On the way through the remnants of the floodplain forest along the original course of the Ammer, you encounter the namesake contemporaries, the storks, which are foraging in this food habitat. After that, you continue to Raisting. The 18 parabolic mirrors of the earth station are visible from a distance. In Raisting itself, you can meet the white storks Raisti and Rosita. The route then continues through Rott to Stilllern, where a cozy beer garden invites you to take a break. Afterwards, it’s easy to cycle comfortably through forests and meadows to Lichtenau, and then through the Ammersee basin and Weilheim moor. The landscapes are strongly influenced by the Ice Age. Following the marked path leads you to the Unterhausen Ammer dam and from there back to the starting point. Overall, the round takes about 2.5 to 3.5 hours at 30 km.
