Heiligenberg

Schloss Heiligenberg (Linzgau)

Heiligenberg is not only a well-known panoramic spot in Linzgau on Lake Constance, it is also a great and technically easy mountain bike route to put together.

Description

The tour in the picturesque region around Heiligenberg, known as the viewing terrace of the Linzgau with breathtaking views of Lake Constance, starts deep in the Deggenhausertal valley. The first section rides along the Franziskusweg trail to Lellwangen, a charming starting point for the climb ahead.

From Lellwangen, the ascent begins over the steep drop-off known as the Bettelküche. First on asphalt and then on gravel, you fight your way up to the high plateau of the Upper Linzgau. This part of the route offers both a physical challenge and increasingly impressive views of the surrounding landscape.

On arrival in Heiligenberg, a wonderful path opens up along the edge of the mountain, which rides up to the Schwedenschanze, an old fortification that brings historical flair to the beautiful natural surroundings. After exploring the Schwedenschanze, the route continues with a descent to Frickingen before taking you along picturesque forest and meadow paths at the foot of the mountain.

The second ascent of the day is on the Way of the Cross, which impresses both spiritually and scenically with its numerous memorial stations. On the chapel hill, you will be rewarded with a final, magnificent panorama before secluded forest paths and trails ride back into the Deggenhausertal valley.
