Explore the villages and valleys on two wheels
Whether by road bike, mountain bike, e-bike or trekking bike – there’s a route for everyone in the enticing area around Oberstdorf.
Everyone from casual cyclists to athletes will find plenty of options for exploring the landscape on two wheels in Oberstdorf. In particular, the surrounding valleys and districts of Oberstdorf are ideal for a scenic ride and as destinations for day trips with plenty of places to stop off for a rest. The countryside and nature reserves make up 75% of Oberstdorf’s municipal area.
Sections of Oberstdorf’s extensive trail network are designated as both hiking and bike trails and accordingly used by hikers and cyclists alike. With the “Zämed duss” campaign for more respect and tolerance in mind, 19 cycling routes have been developed, which are described in the “Zämed duss Radtouenkarte” (cycling route map, only available in German). This provides details of trail conditions, elevation profiles, frequency of use and much more.
The “Zämed duss” (“Sharing the outdoors”) campaign encourages people to treat one another with respect. It also aims to remind people that they are all outside for the same reason: to enjoy nature.
There are plenty of places for potential conflicts: a mountain biker might zoom past a hiker far too quickly without proper warning, a hiker might amble along the middle of a trail without heeding other route users or someone might simply be having a bad day. There are many reasons for disputes between cyclists and walkers but both can make the effort to share the great outdoors in peaceful harmony.
The recipe for doing so is simple:
- Pay attention
- Be friendly
- Give hikers the right of way
- Protect nature
- Keep to marked trails
After all, we all want to share the outdoors for as long
as possible.
