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

Day 2: Konstanz – Gailingen / Stein am Rhein (30 or 50 km)
The first bike stage takes you along the arm of the Gnadensee lake to Radolfzell, once an imperial city and today a renowned resort. You will continue towards the Swiss town of Stein am Rhein, passing through the Höri peninsula, where writer Hermann Hesse and artist Otto Dix once lived. Depending on where you will be staying overnight, you may cross the border again to Gailingen.

Day 3: Gailingen – Ludwingshafen / Überlingen (45 or 60 km)
Today's stage begins with a tour around the Höri peninsula to reach the spa town of Radolfzell. You will visit the Radolfzell Cathedral, which has the highest bell tower on Lake Constance. You will cross the Bodanrück through Bodman-Ludwigshafen. Following the cycle path along the shores of Lake Überlingen, you will reach the town of the same name. From a distance, you can already admire the majestic Cathedral of St. Nicholas.

Day 4: Ludwingshafen / Überlingen – Kressbronn / Nonnenhorn (50 or 60 km)
From Überlingen, through gentle vineyards, you will reach Friedrichshafen: along the way, you will encounter the Baroque church of Birnau, a pilgrimage destination, and the old town of Meersburg, where it is worth stopping for a walk in the center to the old castle. In Friedrichshafen, the birthplace of the zeppelin, it is worth visiting the museum, interesting for anyone and not just for aviation and technology enthusiasts. You will then continue to Kressbronn.

In the morning, take some time to visit 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 towards Bregenz, another famous tourist destination, where you will be surrounded by blue: the sky, the mountains, and the lake. The city, capital of the Vorarlberg region, is also a very lively cultural center, where the annual theater festival is held. From here, you can take the cable car up to Mount Pfänder, which offers a magnificent view of the entire lake. You will then cross an important nature reserve in the Rhine delta, between Austria and Switzerland. Overnight in Höchst or Rorschach.

🙋 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.
