This short bike tour to the Rhine Falls is ideal for all cyclists who don't have a lot of time but still want to enjoy the magnificent scenery. Untersee is picturesquely situated between Swiss villages, the island of Reichenau and the Höri peninsula. At the Rhine Falls, huge masses of water plunge into the depths and in Stein am Rhein, a stroll through the pretty old town with its many facade paintings is well worthwhile. To make the journey to the bike tour to the Rhine Falls easier, it starts with an overnight stay in Constance. There is also plenty to marvel at here. But why not see for yourself, a long weekend is enough!

Day 1: Individual arrival in Constance
Constance is the ideal starting point for a bike tour to the Rhine Falls. The largest city on Lake Constance has something for everyone. Stroll through the old town, discover small wine taverns, unusual pubs and individual stores. A walk to the harbor with the Imperia landmark or a visit to the cathedral are also recommended. A quick dip in Lake Constance or the Seerhein is of course a must.
Day 2: Constance – Gailingen / Stein am Rhein, approx. 30 – 50 km
Today you cycle the first stage of your bike tour to the Rhine Falls. You follow the Swiss shore of Untersee in the direction of Stein am Rhein. On the way, you will pass Arenenberg Castle, the monastery island of Werd and pretty fishing villages. Fresco-decorated half-timbered houses and narrow alleyways await you in Stein am Rhein. After a tour of the town, the route continues to Gailingen. You spend the night in Stein am Rhein or in Gailingen.
Day 3: Excursion to the Rhine Falls, approx. 30 / 50 km
A bike tour to the Rhine Falls is a must for anyone who is cycling along the High Rhine. Stay on the northern side of the Rhine and follow the course of the river to the town of 171 oriels: Schaffhausen. The Rhine Falls are just a few minutes' cycle away. A boat trip will bring you very close to it. In the late afternoon, you cycle back to Gailingen or Stein am Rhein.
Day 4: Gailingen – Constance, approx. 55 / 45 km and individual departure
The last stage of your bike tour to the Rhine Falls first takes you to the Höri peninsula. Here you need to pedal hard for a short time before you can concentrate fully on the beauty of the landscape, which already fascinated Hermann Hesse. You quickly reach Constance via Gaienhofen and Radolfzell. If you want to enjoy the evening in the winding old town, we are happy to extend your bike tour to the Rhine Falls with an extra night.
