Short Description

Pedal the full loop of Lake Constance, starting and ending in Bregenz. Over six nights you cross three countries — Austria, Switzerland, and Germany — riding lakeside and riverside paths with numerous opportunities for a refreshing swim. Highlights include the magnificent house facades of Stein am Rhein, a day trip to the thundering Rhine Falls, the flower island of Mainau, and the charming island town of Lindau. The route mixes lakeside nature reserves, the Höri peninsula, and a short ferry crossing from Konstanz to Meersburg. Luggage moves ahead each day and breakfast is always included, with an optional half-board upgrade of four dinners — so you only need to focus on the ride.

Tour Program

Day 1 — Arrival in Bregenz
Settle into your hotel in Bregenz and collect your travel documents and rental bike (if booked) at the info point. The rest of the day is yours to ride the Pfänder cable car (included) for the fantastic panoramic views from the Pfänder mountain.

Day 2 — Bregenz to Egnach/Romanshorn (40-46 km)
Ride along the lake past the Festspielhaus and the lake stage to Mehrerau, an active monastery, and on past numerous bathing spots to the river Bregenzer Ache. The path continues through the Altenrhein nature reserve to Staad and on to your overnight stop.

Day 3 — Egnach/Romanshorn to Stein am Rhein (48-54 km)
Follow the lakeshore via Güttingen to Kreuzlingen, then continue along the Untersee through Ermatingen and Berlingen. The day ends in the picturesque village of Stein am Rhein with its magnificent house facades.

Day 4 — Stein am Rhein: Rhine Falls excursion (50 km)
A loop day along the Rhine cycle path takes you to Schaffhausen and its Munot Fortress, then on to the Rhine Falls — the largest waterfall in Europe. After soaking in the spectacle, ride back to Stein am Rhein for a second night.

Day 5 — Stein am Rhein to Konstanz (44 km)
Cross the Höri peninsula to Radolfzell, then ride past the island of Reichenau into the council city of Konstanz. Optional detours include an island tour of the monastery island of Reichenau (+16 km) or a visit to the famous flower island of Mainau (+14 km).

Day 6 — Konstanz to Bregenz (57 km + ferry)
Take the ferry from Konstanz/Staad to Meersburg, then ride along the lake via Immenstaad to Friedrichshafen with its castle church and Zeppelin Museum.
