The Journey
Konstanz
Konstanz, a vibrant city straddling the German-Swiss border, serves as an ideal starting point. Its rich history, highlighted by the Council of Constance (1414-1418), which elected Pope Martin V and condemned Jan Hus, is palpable throughout its well-preserved medieval old town. Explore the iconic Konstanz Minster, stroll along the picturesque harbor, and immerse yourself in the city's lively atmosphere. Don't miss the opportunity to relax in one of the many beer gardens or thermal baths, offering a perfect blend of culture and leisure.
Stein am Rhein
Cycle to Stein am Rhein, a true gem renowned for its exceptionally preserved medieval architecture and vibrant, frescoed facades. This enchanting town, where Lake Constance transitions into the Rhine River, offers a step back in time. Explore the Rathausplatz, admire the intricate artwork adorning the buildings, and consider a visit to Hohenklingen Castle, perched high above the town, for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. A detour to Werd Island, home to a tranquil abbey, provides a serene escape.
Radolfzell
Continue along the Untersee to Radolfzell, a charming German town with a rich history dating back to the Roman era. Meander through its narrow, medieval streets, relax along the lakeside promenade, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. For literary enthusiasts, a stop in Gaienhofen to visit Hermann Hesse's former residence is a must. A long walk on the Mettnau Peninsula offers stunning views and a chance to explore a serene nature reserve, showcasing the region's natural beauty.
Meersburg
Cycle through fertile countryside to Meersburg, an idyllic town perched on the northern shore of Lake Constance. Known for its wine production, soothing thermal baths, and the majestic Burg Meersburg, Germany's oldest inhabited castle, Meersburg offers a blend of history, relaxation, and indulgence. Explore the castle's medieval interiors, sample local wines, and unwind in the thermal baths while enjoying breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding vineyards.
Lindau
From Meersburg, ride to Friedrichshafen and then onwards to Lindau, an island city that captivates with its vibrant atmosphere and Mediterranean flair. Explore the bustling harbor, stroll through the narrow shopping streets, and relax in the lively beer gardens. The iconic Bavarian Lion statue and lighthouse at the harbor entrance are must-see landmarks. Don't miss the opportunity to swim in the calm waters of Lake Constance or simply soak in the lively atmosphere of this charming island gem.
Bregenz
Cycle along the easternmost shore of Lake Constance and cross into Austria to reach Bregenz, a city that seamlessly blends culture and natural beauty. Indulge in Austrian delicacies like apple strudel and Wiener schnitzel while exploring the city's charming streets. Bregenz is famous for its spectacular lakeside stage, home to the Bregenz Festival, featuring world-class opera performances with stunning sets that change every year. Enjoy the lively atmosphere and soak in the Austrian experience.
Romanshorn
On your final day, cycle back towards Konstanz, enjoying the numerous lakeside swimming spots along the way. Take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters and savor a classic lakeside snack. For car enthusiasts, a stop at the Auto Bau exhibition center in Romanshorn is a must. Alternatively, head straight back to Konstanz to revisit any missed attractions or simply soak in the city's vibrant atmosphere one last time before concluding your cycling adventure.
