Top Places You'll See
From natural wonders to authentic local culture, the route is packed with memorable sights—these are our absolute favorites.

Lake Constance
Shared with Germany and Switzerland, Lake Constance (Bodensee) offers a mix of cross-border culture and sweeping alpine views. The lakeside cycling paths are flat and well-marked, making it one of Europe’s most accessible long-distance rides. Medieval towns, vineyard slopes, and ferry crossings give variety to each stage, while the scenery of the surrounding Alps never leaves your side.

Meersburg
Meersburg is perched on a hillside above the lake, famous for its vineyards and castle. The medieval Meersburg Castle claims to be the oldest inhabited fortress in Germany, while the Neues Schloss showcases baroque architecture. The steep cobbled streets link terraced wineries, lakefront cafés, and historic squares. With both cultural landmarks and striking views across the water, Meersburg blends history and scenery seamlessly.

Stein am Rhein
This Swiss town is one of the best-preserved medieval settlements along the Rhine. It is renowned for its half-timbered houses decorated with elaborate frescoes, especially around Rathausplatz. The 11th-century Hohenklingen Castle overlooks the town and river, offering sweeping views. Stein am Rhein is compact but full of architectural charm, making it a highlight on the western arm of Lake Constance.

Lindau
Lindau sits on an island connected to the mainland by bridge, giving it a distinct maritime character. Its harbor, framed by a Bavarian lion statue and a 33-meter lighthouse, is one of the most photographed spots on Lake Constance. The old town features pastel-colored houses, arcaded streets, and churches dating back to the Gothic era. Lindau’s lakeside setting with an Alpine backdrop makes it an essential highlight of the circuit.

Konstanz
Konstanz is the largest city on Lake Constance, located right on the Swiss-German border. Its medieval old town survived World War II largely intact, preserving landmarks such as the 15th-century Konzil building and the Romanesque cathedral. The harbor is marked by the rotating Imperia statue, a local icon. With its mix of university town atmosphere and historic character, Konstanz is the cultural hub of the lake.
