Two different hotel categories to choose
1st Day: Constance
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.
2nd Day: Constance – Ludwigshafen / Überlingen, approx. 35 – 50 km
First, you cycle along the “Gnadensee” to the former Imperial town of Radolfzell, now a spa resort. From here, you cross the “Bodanrück” range of hills and encounter a very short incline. Arriving at the so-called Überlinger See, part of Lake Constance, you are rewarded for your efforts with beautiful views of the lake. In the evening enjoy a stroll along Überlingen‘s pretty promenade.
3rd Day: Überlingen – Kressbronn / Lindau /Nonnenhorn, approx. 45 – 60 km
Your journey today takes you along the Obersee. First, make a stop at the pilgrimage church of Birnau. Situated amidst vineyards, the forecourt of the splendidly decorated baroque church offers a wonderful view over the lake. Visit the pile-dwelling museum in Unteruhldingen, Germany´s oldest inhabited castle in Meersburg, and be impressed by the largest collection on the history of aviation in Friedrichshafen. The old town of Lindau is located on an island. Enjoy the view of the Alps at the harbor – in the foreground the town’s landmarks: the Bavarian Lion and the 33-meter-high lighthouse.
4th Day: Kressbronn – Höchst / Arbon / Rorschach, approx. 30 – 55 km
Not far from Lindau, you will pass the border to Austria almost unnoticed. Take a break in Bregenz and take the cable car up to the Pfänder, the local mountain of the festival city – including a fantastic view of Lake Constance and over 200 Alpine peaks. Just a stone’s throw from Bregenz, you’ll cross the Bregenzer Ach river at Hard as well as the Alpenrhein river. Welcome to Switzerland!
5th Day: Höchst – Constanze, approx. 30 – 50 km
Your tour today takes you through Romanshorn with the largest Lake Constance port in Switzerland. The tour continues along Lake Constance back to Constance. End the day with a stroll through the old town or an ice cream at the harbor.
6th Day: Constanze – Schaffhausen, approx. 50 km
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.
7th Day: Schaffhausen – Rhine Falls – Constance, approx. 45 km + boat trip
After breakfast, cycle the short distance to the Rhine Falls, one of Europe‘s biggest water falls. Cycling up the Rhine you go back to Stein am Rhein and then follow the Höri semi-peninsula. At Gaienhofen you go aboard the ferry which takes you to the island of Reichenau. From there it‘s only a few kilometres back to Constance.
