Highlights from this issue: - Start. The Allgäu cycling route stretches over 440 kilometers, making it one of the most challenging long-distance hiking trails in Germany. What happens when a mother and son - she a leisurely cyclist, he sporty and ambitious - compete on two of the most beautiful and demanding stages? A report. - The little sister. Everyone knows Neuschwanstein, but Hohenschwangau is equally interesting and historically significant: the small castle from where Ludwig II observed the construction of his fairy-tale dream. A love letter. - Cheese specialty. When thinking of cheese, one thinks of Allgäu. We accompany an affineur, a specialist who has been selecting and refining cheese for 25 years, on his journey from the alpine pastures to the market. A treat. - Crime scene: With the iconic commissioner Kluftinger at the urban locations of the Allgäu crime novels. - Power plant.
