LCCP/The Gentle Upper Lake-Tour

Lake Constance Cycle Path

Deutschland, germany, Austria, oesterreich, bregenz, bodensee, lake constance, obersee

The Upper Lake with Alpine Panorama

On this tour you will circumnavigate the Upper Lake “Obersee”, the eastern, particularly flat part of Lake Constance. As only a few services are included, this tour is available at a low price. This leaves enough time to visit the most famous towns along the way: Constance, Überlingen, Meersburg, Friedrichshafen, Lindau, Bregenz and Arbon welcome you. You can cycle in complete relaxation as the stages are wonderfully short. And of course, you can‘t miss a boat trip on Lake Constance.

Next, you cycle through extensive orchards, through Langenargen with its pretty Montfort Castle, built in the Moorish style. Shortly after you reach the Bavarian town of Lindau, whose harbour is watched over by a 6-metre high lion. The entire old town lies on an island.

This stretch us flat and easy to cycle, unless in a stronger westerly wind. You will frequently pass places where you can go swimming and refresh yourself in the lovely cool waters of the lake. Let your tour come to a pleasant end with a wander through the old town or an ice cream down at the harbour.
