Lake Constance bike tour self-guided

This classic tour takes you round the entire lake showing off all of its highlights along the way as well as the historic towns of Constance, Stein am Rhein, Meersburg and Lindau and the festival town of Bregenz. Take the time along the route to discover the beauty of Lake Constance and explore the area. The first two sections are slightly hilly and otherwise level, on dedicated paved cycle paths close to the lake. The path sometimes follows brief sections that are unpaved; around Friedrichshafen the cycle path is alongside the main road. The banks of the lake are widely accessible to the public. Suitable for families.
