Take the opportunity to visit the island of Mainau, wander through Constance’s old town or visit the aquariums in the Sea Life Center and go to the Archaeological Museum.

Following the side of Lake Constance, you pedal to Stein am Rhein with its frescoed, medieval houses. Switching several times between Germany and Switzerland you reach the canton‘s capital, Schaffhausen. The town, whose citizens competed with each other in building gables on their houses, is overlooked by Munot fort.

After breakfast, you cycle the short distance to the Rhine Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in Europe, which you can get very close to by boat. Afterwards you follow the valley of the Glatt, which leads you to Zurich, the fascinating Swiss cosmopolitan city. At the level of Zurich Kloten Airport, you can shorten the cycle tour by taking the S-Bahn (not included, approx. 15 CHF)) from Rümlang station. The city of Zurich combines tradition and modernity and the well-preserved old town invites you to linger with its many cafes and bars.

You cycle along the northern bank of Lake Zurich along the so-called golden coast to Rapperswil. Take a break here and go up to the old castle. From there you have lovely views of Lake Zurich and the countryside. From Rapperswil, you cross the lake across a dam and then take the train from Pfäffikon to Einsiedeln.

Fortify yourself at breakfast ready for the day as it includes the route‘s crowning glory. On the ride to Lake Zug, you have to cross a range of hills. In Küssnacht, you can follow the traces of Wilhelm Tell. He is supposed to have shot the bailiff, Hermann Gessler, here in the „Hohle Gasse“ lane.

You leave Lucerne, pass Lake Sarnen and reach Giswil. You board the Brünig Railway, which takes you over the Brünig Pass, about 1000 metres high, to Brienz. You cycle along the beautiful Lake Brienz to Interlaken. The town in the middle of the Bernese Oberland is famous for its impressive mountains. Take an excursion to the Harder Kulm. You can reach Interlaken‘s local mountain by funicular. Enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding mountain peaks from the viewing platform.
