LAKE CONSTANCE CYCLE TRACK: Lake Constance - the soul of Europe

General information on the Lake Constance Cycle Track

The Lake Constance is unique: As only inland waters of Europe - if not of the world - is the border line in the lake between the 3 neighbouring countries unclear to this day. Since the beginning of the tourism in the 19th century the 540 km² big and up to 254 km deep lake impresses visitors from all over the world due to its vastness, the view and the picture-book landscape.
