Overview

This self-guided cycling trip explores the three countries spanned by beautiful Lake Constance: Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You will get to experience them all as you cycle your way around the entire lake, as well as visiting the nearby breathtaking Rhine Falls up close. You will also take a relaxing boat journey to Reichenau Island, with your bike. You will have plenty of opportunities to explore fairytale towns such as Meersburg, Stein am Rhein and Schaffhausen, relax at the lido at Rorschach or at the outdoor swimming and recreation centre at Romanshorn, as well as enjoy the flora and fauna as you pedal along. Then, after active days out exploring, you will rest your head in wonderful family-run 3-star and 4-star hotels. Your tastebuds will be tickled too, and this region produces some excellent wines and beers.
