Individual arrival in Constance/Kreuzlingen

You will begin your trip in Constance, the largest town on the Lake, which is still very medieval in character to this day. In 1414 it hosted the only Church Council to ever be held north of the Alps. A small museum plays tribute to the Czech Reformer Jan Hus, who was burnt at the stake here. The Swiss town of Kreuzlingen is located directly next to Constance. The harbour and lakeside area with its beautiful park are worth a visit here.
Overnight stay in Constance/Kreuzlingen

Constance/Kreuzlingen - Schaffhausen, approx. 55 km

Today you will cycle away from Constance and through small Swiss fishing villages. Cycling along the shores of Lake Constance you will come to the town of Stein am Rhein with fresco-adorned, medieval houses. Crossing over between Germany and Switzerland numerous times along the route, you will come to the Canton capital town of Schaffhausen, which is towered over by the Munot Fortress. There are over 170 oriels in the town which testify to the former wealth of the citizens.
Overnight stay in Schaffhausen

Schaffhausen - Rhinefall - Radolfzell, approx. 55 km

After breakfast you will cycle the short distance to the Rhine Waterfall, the largest waterfall in Europe. You will then continue up along the Rhine back to Stein am Rhein and along the Höri Peninsula, where Otto Dix painted and onto Gaienhofen, where Hermann Hesse lived for a while. Interesting museums pay tribute to the artistic tradition in the Lake Constance region. There will be numerous beautiful views along the route towards the Monastic Island of Reichenau and the volcanic landscape of Hegau. During the course of the day you will be tempted for a swim by a number of perfect bathing spots.
Overnight stay in Radolfzell

Radolfzell - Mühlheim, approx. 75 km or approx. 60 km + train trip

Today you will leave Lake Constance and cycle along the Hegau in the direction of the Danube. We recommend taking a train trip to Engen (price not included), a pretty town with a well-preserved centre. Lateral valleys aid you in ascending the Swabian Alb but not all hills can be avoided. Near Kirchen-Hausen you will reach the Danube and will be rewarded with beautiful, flat cycle paths which lead you to your destination for the day.
Overnight stay in Mühlheim

Mühlheim - Sigmaringen, approx. 45 km

Today you will travel through the Danube opening which will probably be one of the most beautiful sections of your trip. Between Fridingen and Beuron there will be no cars or trains to disrupt your cycling enjoyment and the abbey in Beuron is the perfect place to take a break. The river and cycle path snake between towering chalk cliffs, many of which even to this day are still crowned with castles or ruins on the way to Sigmaringen, the former capital town of the principality of the same name. The castle is still inhabited and houses a large collection of weapons where you can have a guided tour. Overnight stay in Sigmaringen

Sigmaringen - Bad Waldsee, approx. 65 km

You will follow along the Danube to Hundersingen, which was an influential Celtic town during the Bronze Age and which is brought to life in the open-air museum. Then you will turn off in a southerly direction towards the Upper Swabian spa region. Your destination was once an independent imperial abbey which is situated directly on the Lake.
Overnight stay in Bad Waldsee

Bad Waldsee - Wangen im Allgäu, approx. 45 km

Today leads you though the wonderful landscape of the Allgäu region to Wolfegg. Why not take a visit back in time in the expansive farmhouse museum to the era of farming families, servants and labourers. Cycling though the climatic spa town of Kißlegg, you will come to Wangen, the former imperial town. Let yourself be transported back to medieval times along a stroll through the listed Old Town. Intact city towers, countless fountains, gothic streets and Baroque inn-signs all combine to make an atmospheric impression on visitors.
Overnight stay in Wangen im Allgäu

Wangen im Allgäu - Constance/Kreuzlingen, approx. 65 km + ferry trip

Today you will cycle back into the hilly landscape of Upper Swabia. After Neukirch comes one of the most important hop-growing regions in Germany, before the landscape becomes dominated by apple trees and orchards. In Kressbronn you will come to Lake Constance, the banks of which you will follow along until coming to Lake Constance. From here, you will then take the ferry back to Constance.
Overnight stay in Constance/Kreuzlingen

Individual return journey home or extension of your stay

After breakfast your cycling holiday in Upper Swabia comes to an end and you will return home. We would, however, be more than happy to extend your holiday on the Lake.
