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 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.
