A Journey Around Lake Constance

The heart of Europe

  • self-guided hotel-to-hotel cycling, luggage transported
  • captivating journey around Europe's third-largest lake
  • picturesque lakeside routes
  • handsome towns with ornately painted houses
  • cycle-friendly culture

Lake Constance draws many cyclists to its picturesque shores, and justly so. The culture is cycle-friendly, and the trails, by sticking close to the water’s edge, are largely flat. Add enchanting medieval towns characterised by houses with intricately painted façades; idyllic scenery; and plenty of cultural interest, and you have all the ingredients for a wonderful holiday.
The German, Austrian and Swiss borders converge in Lake Constance (Bodensee), though no one knows quite where. Beautiful frescoed houses are a common feature of all the lake’s towns, regardless of nation.
     

With sections in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, there is a real sense of journey and of exploring the heart of Europe as you circumnavigate the lake. This is made all the more rewarding by the camaraderie that exists between cyclists, the majority of whom come here in July and August, creating an animated bustle. The regular, easy-to-use ferries are an integral part of the holiday, offering a different perspective of the lake, its alluring towns and the hills beyond.
