enchanting ‘away <strong>from</strong> it all’ route<br />

through a nature reserve with<br />

spectacular views at every twist <strong>and</strong><br />

turn. 22 miles (35km).<br />

Day 8: Hittisau. Hittisau nestles in<br />

a beautiful Austrian valley amid the<br />

Bregenzer Alps. Close to the Swiss<br />

border, the architecture resembles that<br />

of its near neighbour – picture-<strong>per</strong>fect<br />

chalets clad with intricate wood tiles<br />

<strong>and</strong> vivid flower boxes. Although the<br />

village is home to <strong>just</strong> a few hundred<br />

residents, Hittisau boasts three Michelinrated<br />

restaurants (rustic venues with the<br />

emphasis on delicious local specialities<br />

rather than pretentious cooking <strong>and</strong> star<br />

ratings). Explore the su<strong>per</strong>b scenery of<br />

this peaceful corner of Austria along its<br />

numerous quiet lanes <strong>and</strong> tracks.<br />

Day 9: Hittisau to Bad<br />

Oberstaufen. Fortunately for us, the<br />

pure serenity of this area still remains<br />

a well-kept secret – its tranquillity <strong>and</strong><br />

exceptional beauty is truly inspiring: a<br />

cycling paradise of lush valleys dotted<br />

with chocolate box farmhouses <strong>and</strong><br />

immaculate villages linked by peaceful<br />

lanes. Our route continues north<br />

through this beguiling l<strong>and</strong>scape to the<br />

spa town, Bad Oberstaufen. 22 miles<br />

(35km).<br />

Day 10: Bad Oberstaufen.<br />

Regarded as Allgäu’s most charming<br />

village, Bad Oberstaufen is a stunning<br />

retreat of traditional buildings decorated<br />

with stunning murals <strong>and</strong> vibrant<br />

flowers. Relax in hospitable inns <strong>and</strong><br />

taste delightful Bavarian cuisine, or treat<br />

yourself to indulgent cakes in stylish<br />

cafés. It’s little wonder that this setting is<br />

equally appealing to cyclists <strong>and</strong> walkers.<br />

To the north, a labyrinth of quiet lanes<br />

offer enjoyable rides through pristine<br />

alpine meadows; the majestic peaks to<br />

the south, meanwhile, can be reached<br />

by cable car.<br />

Day 11: Today we say “Auf<br />

Wiedersehen” <strong>and</strong> transfer you back<br />

to Munich airport by train or minibus, <strong>and</strong><br />

look forward to welcoming you back again<br />

next year.<br />
