The Big Round on Lake Constance

In a very classic way, this trip takes you once around the entire Lake Constance. It is the perfect way to get to know the most beautiful corners around Germany’s largest lake in a relaxed way by bike. Mostly flat and never far from the shore, you cycle from highlight to highlight on the well-developed Lake Constance cycle path. Whether the council city of Constance, the medieval Stein am Rhein, the Höri peninsula, the Mediterranean Überlingen, the Zeppelin city of Friedrichshafen or the Arbon Castle – cycling tour beginners and pleasure cyclists experience an exciting and varied cycling vacation on this trip!
