Nestled along the Rhine River at the foot of the Alps, Lake Constance (Bodensee) is one of Europe’s most stunning cycling destinations. As Germany’s largest lake, it forms a natural border with Austria and Switzerland, creating a region rich in culture, history, and breathtaking scenery.
Led by Stephanie, an experienced tour director with a deep connection to this area, this small-group adventure will take you on an unforgettable journey through one of her favorite and most familiar regions of Europe. With a carefully selected three- or four-star hotel as our comfortable “hub” (base), we’ll explore the beauty of Lake Constance on a series of daily rides, each taking us along a new “spoke” (path) to discover the hidden gems and renowned landmarks of this spectacular region.
Along the way, you’ll cycle through charming medieval villages, past vineyards and orchards, and along scenic lakeside paths. Discover the historic village of Stein am Rhein, with its beautifully preserved medieval center. Explore the UNESCO-listed Reichenau Island, known for its ancient monasteries and lush gardens. Visit Meersburg to admire its architecture and gaze at its castle, one of Germany’s oldest inhabited fortresses. Stroll through the exquisite Mainau Island, famous for its vibrant botanical gardens. As we pedal through the region, we’ll enjoy stops at traditional cafés, lakeside beer gardens, and picturesque vineyards, soaking in the rich culture and flavors of the Bodensee.
With its diverse landscapes, fascinating history, and idyllic cycling routes, Lake Constance is the perfect destination for an immersive cycling experience. Join Stephanie for this unforgettable ride through three countries, where every turn of the pedal unveils a new adventure.
