On arrival make your way to your first hotel in Constance, the largest town on the lake or Kreuzlingen. After check-in you are free to relax or explore the town. The medieval heart of Constance is still very well preserved and perfect for exploring on foot. The Swiss town of Kreuzlingen with its pretty harbour is also just a few minutes walk away.

Start your cycling adventure with a ride through pretty Swiss fishing villages to the town of Stein am Rhein. The town’s main square is lined with medieval, half-timbered townhouses many of which are painted with ornate frescos. You then cross back into Germany and cycle along the peaceful Höri peninsula to Radolfzell, a popular health resort and a pleasant spot to spend the night.

Today you’ll cross the Bodanrück hills to reach the lake shore at Bodman. You then follow the lakeside cycle path to Überlingen, with its imposing Gothic cathedral. You’ll also cycle past the beautiful baroque church at Birnau and the lovely old town of Meersburg. Finally, after riding past rolling vineyards you reach Friedrichshafen with its lakeside harbour – the local zeppelin museum is fascinating and well worth a visit.

ou’ll be treated to some of the best scenery of the trip today, cycling through orchards and picturesque villages, with Alpine views the whole way. You’ll stop first at Lindau, situated on an island on the lake joined to the mainland by a narrow causeway. Then take the lakeside cycle path to Bregenz, famous for its lake theatre. After that you’ll head through the Rhine Delta nature reserve to the village of Höchst where you’ll spend the night.

Your last day of cycling leads you into Switzerland, specifically the canton of Thurgau. Here you will ride past orchards and peaceful lakeside villages, such as Rorschach, back to Constance to complete your trip. Your final night is spent in Constance or Kreuzlingen.

After breakfast it’s time to check-out and head for home or your next adventure.
