Lake Constance Cycle Tour

Your journey begins in Constance, the classic starting point for many cycle tours on 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. You will find numerous restaurants and cafés in the winding streets and alleyways. Or how about climbing the tower of Constance Cathedral? From the viewing platform, you can enjoy a wonderful view of Lake Constance and the city. If visibility is good, you can even see the snow-covered peaks of the Alps.

Here we go! On the first stage of your cycle tour on Lake Constance, you will first cycle to the island of Reichenau, famous for its vegetable cultivation. You then cross over to the Höri peninsula by boat. It was once an inspiring domicile for many artists. Continue to Stein am Rhein in Switzerland. 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 manner with a boat trip to Stein am Rhein. Let the landscape pass you by in a relaxed manner. From Stein am Rhein, you cycle across the Höri peninsula to the spa town of Radolfzell. Treat yourself to a delicious ice cream before tackling a few climbs towards Ludwigshafen. A few kilometers away you reach Überlingen, which boasts a five-kilometer-long promenade as well as parks and gardens. Spend the night in Ludwigshafen or Überlingen.

With Lake Constance mostly in view, the cycle tour first takes you towards Meersburg. On the way, it is worth making a detour to the Birnau pilgrimage church. It is considered the most beautiful baroque church on Lake Constance. After a few kilometers you reach Meersburg. We recommend a visit to the castle, where you can immerse yourself in the Middle Ages. Things are more modern in Friedrichshafen, your destination for the day. The museum dedicated to the Zeppelin airship contains the world's largest collection on the history and technology of aviation. The Moleturm tower at the harbor is a wonderful place to watch the sunset.

The Lake Constance cycle path takes you through lush green orchards for the first few kilometers. You reach Lindau, the only Bavarian town on Lake Constance. Lindau's old town is located on an island. Leave your bike and stroll through the pretty alleyways to the harbor. It is guarded in proper style by the Bavarian Lion. Back on the mainland, you cycle to the Austrian festival town of Bregenz at the foot of the Pfänder. You spend the night in Lindau or Bregenz.

After breakfast, get on your bike and cycle towards the Rhine coming from the Swiss Alps, which flows into Lake Constance at Hard. After crossing the Alpine Rhine, you cycle mostly along the shores of Lake Constance to Rorschach. Treat yourself to a dip in the cool water at the historic bathing hut. The route continues through small villages to Arbon, one of the oldest towns on Lake Constance. You spend the night in Rorschach or Arbon.

The last stage of your cycle tour on Lake Constance is about to begin. The route takes you close to the shore to Romanshorn. Treat yourself to a good coffee at the harbor and watch the ships sail across the lake. On you go! On your way to Constance, you will have the opportunity to cool off in the water again and again - wonderful! Leave your bike at your destination of Constance and take another stroll through the old town. A visit to the Rosgarten Museum is highly recommended.

Your cycle tour on Lake Constance ends after breakfast. We are happy to extend your stay at Lake Constance with an extra night.
