Alternatively, the centrally located Pfänderbahn underground garage offers special rates and advance booking is recommended. Bregenz railway station is also well connected to the long distance rail network, making arrival by train a convenient option. Overnight stay in a 3☼☼☼ hotel.

2. Day, Arbon/Egnach (42 km)

Today’s route follows the attractive lakeside parks of Bregenz and passes the famous Festival Hall and floating stage. You continue to Mehrerau Abbey, the only active monastery on the Austrian shore of Lake Constance. The cycle path then leads past numerous swimming areas and follows the lakeshore towards the mouth of the Bregenzer Ache. Through the protected nature reserve of Altenrhein, rich in birdlife and natural scenery, you reach Staad before continuing along the Swiss shore to Arbon or Egnach. Throughout the day, beautiful views across Lake Constance accompany your ride. Overnight stay in a 3☼☼☼ hotel.

3. Day, Constance/Kreuzlingen (30 km)

You cycle along the picturesque Swiss lakeshore, passing charming waterfront villages and well maintained promenades. Via Romanshorn and Güttingen, the route leads to the historic Council City of Constance, known for its important role during the Council of Constance and its attractive old town. Along the way, magnificent views of Lake Constance and the surrounding landscape provide constant variety. If you wish, a worthwhile detour can be made to the nearby island of Reichenau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, adding either 12 km or 28 km including a complete circuit of the island. Overnight stay in a 3☼☼☼ hotel.

4. Day, Friedrichshafen (33 km cycling, 15 ferry minutes)

This morning offers the opportunity to visit the famous flower island of Mainau individually. Afterwards, you cycle to the ferry terminal in Constance/Staad and cross the lake to Meersburg. From there, the route follows the northern shore of Lake Constance via Immenstaad to Friedrichshafen. The town is known for its impressive lakeside setting, the historic customs building within a park and the striking castle church. If you would like to extend the day, a detour to the prehistoric pile dwellings in Uhldingen is possible after the ferry crossing, adding approximately 10 km to the route. Overnight stay in a 3☼☼☼ or 4☼☼☼☼ hotel.

5. Day, Bregenz (35 km)

Before setting off, you may wish to visit the renowned Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen. The route then leads through the Eriskircher Ried nature reserve, one of the most important wetland areas around Lake Constance. Continuing via Langenargen and Wasserburg, you reach the well known Bavarian island town of Lindau, famous for its charming historic centre and harbour. Following the lakeshore once more, you cycle back to Bregenz. The final stage combines attractive natural landscapes, cultural highlights and splendid lake views before returning to the starting point of your tour. Overnight stay in a 3☼☼☼ hotel.

6. Day, End of the Cycling Tour

After breakfast, your cycling holiday around Lake Constance comes to an end. Individual departure is scheduled for today, although additional nights can be booked if you wish to extend your stay. Thanks to Bregenz’s convenient transport connections, onward travel by car or train is straightforward. If time permits, you may enjoy a final stroll along the lakeshore or explore the town before beginning your journey home and concluding this varied tour around one of Europe’s most beautiful cycling regions.
