Day 1 - Individual arrival in Augsburg
Visit of the Roman provincial capital 'Augusta Vindelicorum”. Example of hotel: Hotel Bayerischer Wirt in AugsburgDay 2 - Augsburg–Landsberg, approx. 50 km
The city name Augsburg decreases to the Roman provincial center Augusta Vindelicorum, which was founded in 15 B.C. under the rule of Emperor Augustus. Augsburg's popularity however, was established with its role as a Fugger town. Therefore, a visit of the Fuggerei, which is the world's oldest project for social housing still in use today, is almost a must. The stage to Landsberg is thought to be a comfortable 'run in' on almost flat terrain. Example of hotel: Landhotel Endhart in LandsbergDay 3 - Landsberg–Schongau/surroundings, approx. 45 km
On your cycle tour today along the Via Claudia Augusta leads from Landsberg to Schongau. On the horizon you can already see the Alps but you get to enjoy the beauty of the region Pfaffenwinkel first. Schongau features a picturesque old town and almost completely preserved town walls. Example of hotel: Hotel Rössle in SchongauDay 4 - Schongau/surroundings–Füssen/Schwangau, approx. 40 km

You cycle downwards towards Malles past Reschen water reservoir with the sunken church tower of Altgraun, one of the most famous photo motifs of Italy.
