The shallow Upper Lake - fruit trees & alpine panoramas
The part of Lake Constance that lies to the east of the Constance-Meersburg line is known as Obersee. If you cycle from Meersburg around the Obersee to Constance, you will cover around 130 kilometers. The route is flat and offers plenty of variety.
Cycle tours on the Obersee
From Meersburg to Friedrichshafen (approx. 20 kilometers)
The Lake Constance cycle path takes you through Hagnau to Immenstaad, two cozy wine and vacation towns. A beautiful route! The Alps are already in sight here. Our tip: use the White Fleet boats from Immenstaad to avoid the cycle path along the busy main road.
From Friedrichshafen to Lindau (approx. 30 kilometers)
The cycle route takes you through the Eriskircher Ried nature reserve and the vacation resorts of Langenargen, Kressbronn, Nonnenhorn and Wasserburg to Lindau. You will see fruit trees, alpine panoramas, lakeside promenades, lidos ... rating: very beautiful!
From Lindau via Bregenz to Rorschach (approx. 40 kilometers)
From the Austrian border, the Pfänder gets closer and closer. Bregenz's local mountain is a proud 1,064 meters high. After Bregenz, you cycle quietly through the Rhine delta towards the Swiss border. The road to Rorschach is not really a pleasure because of the nearby highway. But the view of the Appenzell countryside is breathtaking!
From Rorschach to Constance (approx. 40 kilometers)
The Lake Constance cycle path takes you to Arbon with its interesting old town. From Romanshorn, you have the opportunity to take the ferry to Friedrichshafen every hour. The remaining 20 kilometers to Constance also make a nice end to the cycle tour. The railroad line running parallel to the cycle path offers a shortcut in bad weather.
