The Lake Constance Cycle Path along the western shores of Lake Constance leads cyclists through extremely beautiful landscape which fascinated even Otto Dix and Hermann Hesse. The volcanic peaks of the Hegau Mountains, Europe’s largest waterfall and numerous medieval villages are located along this route.  You will have the chance to discover the quieter and more natural part of Lake Constance along this trip. This tour along the Lake Constance Cycle Path is suitable for families with children.

Individual arrival in Constance/Kreuzlingen

You will begin your trip in Constance, which is the largest town on Lake Constance, and is still quite Medieval in character to this day. In 1414, the town hosted the only church council ever to take place north of the Alps. A small museum is dedicated to the Czech reformer Jan Hus, who was burnt at the stake here. The symbol of the city is the statue of Imperia, which is a memorial to the prostitutes of the council time. The aquariums of the Sea Life Center are also worth a visit, as is the Archaeological Museum.
