Lake Constance

Wichtig: Nur englische Routenbeschreibung.

A round trip of about 235 km on quiet, good riding roads, with the shores of the lake never very far from your side; this is the famous tour around Lake Constance. The route is flat in Germany and Austria; while Switzerland is a bit hillier, it is still not too difficult to do.

The sub-alpine climate, the old villages and the ever-present expanse of water provide a special atmosphere to this region, one of the oldest tourist regions in Europe. Every town cherishes its own treasures, such as Bregenz, Konstanz, Friedrichshafen and Lindau. But the swamp areas near Radolfzell, the flower island of Mainau and the pile dwellings of Uhlingen are also certainly worth seeing.
Your round trip starts from Bregenz or a village nearby. You ride through the Rhine delta via Ermatingen and the picturesque Stein am Rhein to the German enclave of Busingen.  Durin this tour you have time to visit the medieval town of Konstanz and the flower island of Mainau. In Friedrichshafen you can visit the Zeppelin museum. Usually you end up in Bregenz at the same hotel you started from, but it can be a different hotel in the vicinity.
