The picturesque Überlinger See - lakeside promenades & half-timbered idyll

Lake Überlingen is particularly popular with short breaks and day visitors coming from Stuttgart. Hotspots here are the vacation resorts of Bodman-Ludwigshafen and Sipplingen. There are beautiful lidos, interesting hiking trails and, of course, it's also great for cycling. The Bodanrück rises on the southern shore of Lake Überlingen. Between Wallhausen and Bodman, the shore is steep and densely wooded.

Bike tour around Lake Überlingen (approx. 65 kilometers)

The main route of the Lake Constance cycle path around Lake Überlingen leads from Constance via Radolfzell to Überlingen and is practically flat. However, you have to cycle along main roads in places. Fortunately, there is a variant over the 694 meter high Bodanrück via Wallhausen, Liggeringen and Bodman. The elevation profile and route are quite challenging.

In Ludwigshafen, both routes converge again. Unfortunately, the entrance to the small spa town is on the road, but the longest promenade on Lake Constance makes up for this. From Überlingen it is another 13 beautiful kilometers to Meersburg. The ferry to Constance runs there every quarter of an hour during the day.
