Bike tour at Lake Constance with excursion to the Rhine Falls

Your journey begins in Constance, the classic starting point for many bike tours around Lake Constance. Take your time to explore the largest city on the lake at your leisure. The medieval old town is one of the most beautiful in the region. In the winding streets and alleys you will find numerous restaurants and cafes. Or how about climbing the tower of the Constance Cathedral? From the observation deck you can enjoy a wonderful view of Lake Constance and the city. In good visibility conditions, even the partly snow-covered peaks of the Alps can be seen.

Here we go! On the first stage of your bike tour on Lake Constance, you will first cycle to the island of Reichenau, known for its vegetable cultivation. You will then take a boat to the Höri peninsula. It was once an inspiring domicile for many artists. Continue on to the Swiss town of Stein am Rhein. Stroll through the beautiful old town with its enchantingly painted houses. You now turn your back on Lake Constance and follow the Rhine to Schaffhausen. Pay a visit to the nearby Rhine Falls with its thundering masses of water.

Your cycling stage starts in a relaxed way with a boat trip to Stein am Rhein. Let the landscape pass you by in a relaxed manner. From Stein am Rhein, the route takes you across the Höri peninsula to the spa town of Radolfzell. Treat yourself to a delicious ice cream before mastering some climbs in the direction of Ludwigshafen. A few kilometers away, you'll reach Überlingen, which boasts a five-kilometer promenade as well as parks and gardens. You will spend the night in Ludwigshafen or in Überlingen.

With Lake Constance mostly in view, the bike tour first takes you in the direction of Meersburg. On the way, a detour to the pilgrimage church of Birnau is worthwhile. It is considered the most beautiful baroque church on Lake Constance. After a few kilometers you will reach Meersburg. We recommend a visit to the castle, which will take you back to the Middle Ages. Friedrichshafen, your destination for the day, is more modern. The museum dedicated to the Zeppelin airship has the world's largest collection of aviation history and technology. From the Moleturm at the harbor, you can watch the sunset wonderfully.

The Lake Constance Cycle Path takes you through lush green orchards for the first few kilometers. With Lindau, you reach the only Bavarian city on Lake Constance. The old town of Lindau is located on an island. Leave your bike and walk through the pretty alleys to the harbor. It is guarded in style by the Bavarian Lion. Back on the mainland, you'll cycle to the Austrian festival town of Bregenz at the foot of the Pfaender. You will spend the night in Lindau or Bregenz.

After breakfast, you will get on your bike and ride towards the Rhine coming from the Swiss Alps, which flows into Lake Constance at Hard. After you have crossed the Alpine Rhine, you will mostly cycle along the shore of Lake Constance to Rorschach. Treat yourself to a dip in the cool waters at the historic Badhütte. Continue through small villages to Arbon, one of the oldest towns on Lake Constance. You will spend the night in Rorschach or Arbon.

The last stage of your bike tour on Lake Constance is coming up. Close to the shore, the route takes you to Romanshorn. Treat yourself to a good coffee at the harbor and watch the ships sail across the lake. On we go! On your way to Constance you will have the opportunity to cool off in the water again and again - wonderful! In your destination Constance, leave the bike and stroll through the old town once again. A visit to the Rosgarten Museum is especially recommended.
