Lake Constance Cycle Route: around the lake in 5 days
Deutschland · 5 Days
Three countries in five days, almost always by the water and almost always flat: from Constance via Mainau Island and the prehistoric pile dwellings to Meersburg and Überlingen, on through Friedrichshafen and Lindau to Bregenz, back along the Swiss shore via Rorschach and Romanshorn – and finally through the Untersee to Stein am Rhein. 225 kilometres on a fully built cycle path.
A sample route to look at. If you copy it, your own copy lands in your plans – there you can change days, stops and order.
Route: Bodensee-Radweg – 136 mi on the way itself, 154 mi including detours to the stops. It is fixed – “regenerate” swaps stops, not the way. Days: 5 of about 27 mi each, overnight in the nearest town on the route.
Dashed line: detour to a stop away from the route (there and back).
