The Lake Constance cycle path is the most popular cycle route in Europe. Along the route you will cycle around the lake, get to know three countries and the four islands of Reichenau, Mainau, Lindau and Werd. Highlights of the tour include the medieval cities of Konstanz, Stein, Meersburg and Lindau. In comparison to other cycle routes the daily stages are relatively short as there is a great number of towns and attractions to be discovered along the route. Enjoy the wonderful landscape of the lake against the beautiful background of the Alps.
