Tips from the Community
Unfortunately, we didn't want to get a layer of dirt on our bikes, so we took a big detour. Without an app, we overestimated the length of the forest road, and the other route via Klessen and Bossarts was much longer, but the road to Albishofen was excellent.

Basilica of St. Alexander and St. Theodore, Ottobeuren The magnificent basilica, dedicated to the two Roman martyrs Alexander (162) and Theodore (306), is certainly one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in southern Germany. With its two 82-meter-high onion domes, it stands on a gently rising ridge west of the market square, visible from afar above the valley of the western Günz River. Due to its dominant, free position within the entire building complex, the basilica plays an undeniable presiding role. This concept of placing the church in front of the monastery was not, however, an Ottobeuren invention. Rather, it can be traced back to the famous Swabian architectural theorist Joseph Furtenbach, who published it in 1628 in his work "Architectura Civilis" as the ideal form for a women's monastery. Other monasteries were also built according to this pattern: Kempten in 1651, Seedorf/CH in 1682, Obermarchtal in 1686, Holzen in 1696, Klosterwald in 1714, Sießen in 1716, and Fiecht/Tyrol in 1707. The foundation stone was laid on September 27, 1737, at the present main portal. During the reigns of Abbots Rupert Neß and Anselm Erb, it was built as a monastery church from 1737 to 1766 by Simpert Kraemer (until 1748) and Johann Michael Fischer. The very rich late-Bavarian furnishings include dome and ceiling frescoes and altarpieces by Johann Jakob and Franz Anton Zeiller from Tyrol, stucco figures by Johann Joseph Christian, and stucco work by Johann Michael Feuchtmayer the Younger. It boasts two widely renowned Baroque choir organs by Karl Joseph Riepp: the four-manual Trinity Organ with 47 stops and the two-manual Holy Spirit Organ with 27 stops, both with a French sound. The choir stalls are by Martin Hermann (carpentry) and Johann Joseph Christian (reliefs). The focal point of the church is the Romanesque crucifix (ca. 1220). The church's unusual north-south orientation is due to its location within the overall complex, whose floor plan is in the shape of a cross. In 1926, the monastery church was elevated to a Papal Basilica/Basilica Minor by Pope Pius XI.

Sorry that I didn't mark the route, I was concentrating on the pictures. The route is from the Mulde near Klessen via Schrallen, Wolferts and Brüchlins to the cycle path.

Beautiful cycle route from Benningen, view over the Illertal, past the Adelwarth organic poultry farm. The route winds through the countryside to the Woringen train station restaurant, from there on to Wolfertschwenden.

The Evangelical Reformed Hospital Church on the market square in Bad Grönenbach, which has been in existence since 1808, offers not only its historical architecture but also a rather simple interior.
