Description

Day 1: Constance
Individual arrival in Constance and hotel accommodation. Based on your arrival time, if possible, take some time to visit the Island of Mainau, which, thanks to its mild climate, is a true flower paradise; you can also take a walk through the narrow streets of the old town of Constance or visit the aquarium at the Sea Life Center and the archaeological museum.

Day 2: Constance – Ludwigshafen / Überlingen (35 or 50 km)
The first leg of the tour will take you by bike through the famous imperial city of Radolfzell and the wooded and hilly Bodanrück peninsula, facing a few short uphill stretches. You will finally reach Überlingen, known for its beautiful late Gothic cathedral and pleasant lakeside promenade.

Day 3: Ludwigshafen / Überlingen – Kressbronn / Nonnenhorn (55 or 60 km)
From Überlingen you will reach Friedrichshafen by bike, passing through the vineyards: along the way, you can visit the baroque church of Birnau, a pilgrimage destination, and the ancient town of Meersburg. In Friedrichshafen, the birthplace of the Zeppelin, it is worth visiting the museum, interesting not only for aviation and technology enthusiasts. You will then continue to Kressbronn through extensive orchards. Overnight in Kressbronn or Nonnenhorn.

Day 4: Kressbronn – Höchst / Horn / Arbon (30 or 55 km)
Today you will head towards the Bavarian town of Lindau, located on an island and connected to the mainland by two bridges at the border between Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. You will then continue to Bregenz, another famous tourist destination surrounded by the blue: of the sky, the mountains, and the lake. The city, the capital of the Vorarlberg region, is also a very vibrant cultural center, where the annual theater festival is held. You will finally arrive at Höchst, in Austria.

Day 5: Höchst – Constance (40 or 55 km)
Today's stage will take you to the region of Romanshorn, with the most important port on the Swiss side. You will pass through many villages with characteristic half-timbered houses, to finally return to Constance. If you haven't done so already, you can visit the Island of Mainau.

Day 6: Constance – Schaffhausen (50 km)
Today you will enjoy a splendid bike ride along the southern shore of the lake, among picturesque Swiss fishing villages, with typical frescoed medieval houses; crossing the border between Germany and Switzerland several times, you will arrive at Stein am Rhein, literally “stone on the Rhine”: the town is indeed located where the lake becomes the Rhine again. Continuing, you will encounter Schaffhausen, a city that preserves a historic center with 171 bay windows: the façades of the houses are artistically painted; furthermore, the Munot fortress towers over the city, where, since 1377, a guardian has been maintaining order and legality. A visit to the city of Schaffhausen will make you feel like you are traveling back in time.

Day 7: Schaffhausen – Rhine Falls – Constance (45 km + boat)
Today's journey begins with a bike ride to the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen, among the largest in Europe. On the other side of the Rhine, you will then return to Stein am Rhein and continue through the Hori peninsula to Gaienhofen, from where you will take the boat to the Island of Reichenau. In a few kilometers, you will finally return to Constance.

Day 8: Constance
After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
