Cycling holidays around Lake Constance

Detailed tour description

Day 1: Individual arrival in Constance/ Kreuzlingen
Take the chance to visit Mainau island or take a walk through the old town of Constance. The aquariums in the Sea Life Center and the Archaeological Museum are also recommended.

Day 2: Constance/ Kreuzlingen – Öhningen/ Stein am Rhein/ Gailingen (approx. 30 – 50  km)
Your first bike tour takes you along the southern shore of Lake Constance. Pretty Swiss fishing villages adorn the cycle path to Stein am Rhein in Switzerland. Enjoy a stroll around the town that is known for its medieval houses with their oriels and paintings. Furthermore take a look at the majestic Hohenklingen Castle during a walk along the "Schiffländi".

Day 3: Öhningen/ Stein am Rhein/ Gailingen – Ludwigshafen/ Sipplingen/ Überlingen (approx. 45 – 60 km)
In the morning you cycle around the Höri peninsula, where the artists Hermann Hesse and Otto Dix lived for a while. The route continues on to Radolfzell, a pretty harbour town on Lake Constance, where a break in the old town or on the beach promenade is recommendable. After you have gathered some strength here, one of the few climbs on Lake Constance Cycle Path awaits you: the Bodanrück. But be sure, the effort is worth it: the view over "Lake Überlingen", a part of Lake Constance, is breathtaking. Your today's destination is the region around the old imperial city of Überlingen.
