Roll out from Parkeerplaats Igelsee and the castles come thick and fast: first Ruine Ebersberg, then Waldburg, later Altes Schloss. Between them the route slips past Zeller See nature reserve and through Gießenmoos, with 948 m of climbing over 80.3 km, all on paved surface. Hangquellmoor Epplings and the Argen nature reserve round things off before the pedals turn for home.
