During the next days, you get to know the peninsula Höri, the Suisse city Stein am Rhein, the medieval castle in Meersburg, the zeppelin town Friedrichshafen, as well as the festival town Bregenz and much more.

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.

First, you cycle along the Gnadensee to the former Imperial town of Radolfzell, now a spa resort. Continue through beautiful countryside along the Höri peninsula to the Swiss town of Stein am Rhein with its many frescoed houses. Along the southern bank of the lake, you cycle through picturesque Swiss fishing villages back to Constance.

3rd Day: Constance – Lindau / Bregenz, approx. 50 / 65 km + ferry trip

The car ferry takes you from Constance to Meersburg and cycling through vineyards you reach the Zeppelin town of Friedrichshafen. In Friedrichshafen we can recommend a visit to the Zeppelin museum. Today, the tour takes you through extensive orchards to the Bavarian town of Lindau, where you should not miss visiting the old town – situated on an island. Now it‘s just a few kilometres to Bregenz, the capital town of the Vorarlberg region of Austria and famous for its annual festival on the world‘s largest lake-stage.

4th Day: Bregenz – Constance, approx. 70 – 80 km

Now, you cycle through the nature reserve of the Rhine Delta, where the Alpenrhein flows into Lake Constance. At Altenrhein, you cross the border to Switzerland and follow the cycle path to Arbon, Romanshorn and then back to Constance. The cycle path is almost always right at the side of the lake here. 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.
