Slightly undulating terrain. Longer distances are manageable even without an e-bike with moderate fitness.

Nesselwang is a very beautiful place in the Allgäu region. It's well worth a visit.

In the list of architectural monuments in Nesselwang, three architectural monuments are listed for Schneidbach, including the Catholic chapel of St. Antonius, built in 1634 and expanded between 1648 and 1654. A richly furnished chapel well worth seeing.

The mountains in the Nesselwang, Pfronten and Tannheimertal region are pleasant to climb, at least that was the case for me 20 years ago. For health reasons, I can no longer manage it. Driving through Nesselwang can be annoying, but the landscape outside makes up for it. There is a toboggan run and a long zipline at the Alpspitzbahn, but I haven't ridden either yet. Sorry that I didn't mark the whole route.
