The "Allgaeur U" is a beautiful loop that traverses 23 peaks which are located in the Naturpark Nagelfluhkette in the German alps. You will encounter a lot of variety along the route as some peaks are very easy with runanble trails and some others require easy scrambling where you have to use your hands. There are no out and backs and the route is a true loop. Start at the small town of Blaichach where you can park right at the trailhead. The loop starts at road near the buildings of the Bosch company.
