Your children will be raving about this Family cycling tour at Lake Constance for a long time to come: There is so much to discover around Lake Constance! Whether it's the pile dwellings in Unteruhldingen, the zeppelins in Friedrichshafen or the six-metre high lion at Lindau harbour – not only the little ones will be thrilled. The Family cycling tour at Lake Constance takes you from Constance on flat paths – easily manageable for children – once around one of the largest lakes in Europe. If your children do not yet want to or cannot cycle themselves, the wide cycle paths along the way are ideal for a vacation with a child trailer or a Weehoo ride-on trailer. As we take care of the luggage transport, you can cycle without a care in the world. Just make sure you always have your swimming gear to hand in your bike bag, because the lake is never far away. There are numerous bathing spots along the way where you can cool off in the crystal-clear water.

Meersburg Castle is the oldest inhabited castle in Germany. It towers majestically over the shores of Lake Constance and takes visitors back to the Middle Ages. Right next door is the New Castle. Enjoy the view of the lake from the garden terrace before hopping on your bike towards Friedrichshafen. Once in Friedrichshafen, you can visit the Zeppelin Museum. Look up from time to time and you might spot a zeppelin in the sky, hovering silently over the lake.

Day 3: Friedrichshafen – Lindau, approx. 30 km

Extensive orchards lie on today's stage of your Family cycling tour at Lake Constance on your way to Lindau. Numerous bathing spots invite you to take a break along the way. While your children splash around in the crystal-clear water, take in the Alpine panorama: The snow-covered peaks seem to rise straight out of the water. A break in Langenargen is also worthwhile: it is home to one of the oldest suspension bridges in Germany! The stage almost cycles itself. You have reached your destination for the day in Lindau. Explore the charming old town island and climb the new lighthouse at the harbor – panoramic views included!
