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 />
