Sporty Lake Constance Tour

Your sporty tour of Lake Constance with a detour to the Rhine Falls begins in Constance. After checking in at the hotel, grab your bike and discover the largest city on the lake. Visit the harbor with the impressive Imperia statue, which has been turning on the spot for over 30 years. It is symbolic of the Council, which was the venue for the only papal election on German soil in the Middle Ages. Or how about climbing the tower of the cathedral?

Here we go! On the Lake Constance cycle path, you follow the Swiss shore of Untersee. It first takes you to Stein am Rhein. Make a stopover at the town hall square. Surrounded by frescoed houses, a coffee tastes twice as good. Continue on your Lake Constance tour to Schaffhausen. The town of oriels is dominated by the Munot fortress. Just a stone's throw away: the Rhine Falls. A boat trip brings you up close to the thundering waters of one of Europe's largest waterfalls.

Cycle along the High Rhine back to Stein am Rhein and you will soon reach the Höri. Numerous artists once settled on the peninsula. A museum has been dedicated to the writer Hermann Hesse in his former home in Gaienhofen. The Haus Dix Museum provides an insight into the life and work of the painter Otto Dix. Continuing along the banks of the Höri, you reach Radolfzell. Cycle over the Bodanrück ridge to Lake Überlingen and your destination for the day, Überlingen.

After treating yourself to a coffee on Überlingen's five-kilometre-long lakeside promenade, the route takes you to your stage destination of Lindau or Bregenz with virtually no ascent. Take a detour to the Birnau pilgrimage church, visible from afar, and immerse yourself in the Middle Ages at Meersburg Castle. Those interested in technology will find what they are looking for at the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen. With a view of the mountains, you can cycle to the old town island of Lindau, which is well worth seeing, and the festival city of Bregenz, just a few kilometers away.

The last stage of your sporty tour of Lake Constance with a visit to the Rhine Falls lies ahead of you. A few kilometers after Bregenz, you cross the (Alpine) Rhine. Now you cycle to Constance on the Swiss section of the Lake Constance cycle path. Along the way, you will have plenty of opportunities to take a refreshing dip in the lake. When you reach Constance, you've made it! After around 275 kilometers, you have reached your destination. At the end of your tour, treat yourself to a glass of Lake Constance wine and toast to the past eventful days! Cheers to you!
