Lake Constance bike tour athletic route self guided
People who like to cycle longer sections, but don‘t want to be in the saddle for the entire week, will find that this athletic short tour around Lake Constance is right up their street. Starting in Constance you explore the idyllic countryside of the Lower Lake and, cycling further, beautiful spots along the Upper Lake. In Meersburg and Lindau you should plan a visit to the historic centres of these towns. In Bregenz we can recommend visiting the world’s biggest lake-stage. The cycle path is mostly paved and suitable for racing bikes. The few unpaved sections can be avoided by cycling on the road.
