Bridge building river Leiblach: Hiking along the border river - Waterways in the Western Allgaeu

The parking lot of the parish church St. Gall in Sigamrszell-Kirchdorf, inaugurated in 1717, is an ideal starting point for this tour. From there on,  the tour leads down to the river on the so-called 'Leiblachtalwanderweg' (Leiblach valley trail) which, throughout the tour, marks the boarder between Germany and Austria. Gravel banks and shallow waters welcome you to dwell, play and have a picnic. Over the footbridge 'Lochersteg' you reach Bad Diezlings in Austria. In the inn of the same name, the world-famous writer Norbert Jacques wrote his novel 'Dr. Mabuse, the gambler' in 1920. Several meters further, the Kneipp facility Hoerbranz invites you to a pleasant cooling under aspects of health, before the path leads on to the 'Diezlinger Teich' (the pond of Diezlings). The little natural treasure  was created by men and is the home of many animal and plant species. After that, the tour continues on beautiful meadow paths with wide views back to Sigmarszell-Kirchdorf. Finally, you reach the village via the 'Zellersteg', re-edified in 2004, and a short ascent.
