The Swiss Alpen Rhine connects the mountains of Graubünden with Lake Constance. This tour starts in Constance, then you will travel by train to the Alps and cycle through four countries: Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria and Germany. The tour follows gently downhill alongside the Rhine on good quality paths. Enjoy the air dried Bündner meat, a Pinot Noir or whitefish and perch from Lake Constance.

Individual Journey to Konstanz
Take the chance today to visit the flower island Mainau, the "fifth season" of Lake Constance, or enjoy a ramble through the well preserved old part of Konstanz with the council building, the cathedral, the winding laneways of Niederburg and the Mediterranean harbour with the famous statue of "Imperia". Peter Lenk created this controversial monument, for the prostitutes during the time of the Konstanz Council, where between 1414 and 1418 the only meetings of the church north of the Alps occurred.

Constance – Bonaduz, train journey
Today you have a difficult choice to make: You can either enjoy the morning on lake Constance and then take the train to the starting point of your cycling trip or you can leave straight away after breakfast and can spend the afternoon getting to know the region where the different sections of the Rhine converge.
