Danu­­be-Lake Con­s­tance cycle path — Feu­er und Eis Tou­ris­tik — Expe­ri­ence natu­re actively

Com­bi­ne the char­ming water views of the Lake Con­s­tance Cycle Path with the Danu­be Cycle Path? Is that pos­si­ble? And how: by bike on the Danu­be-Lake Con­s­tance Cycle Path. The 156-kilo­met­re rou­te is sign­pos­ted throug­hout and winds its way through towns and vil­la­ges in the heart of Upper Swa­bia. The for­mer impe­ri­al city of Ulm is an ide­al start­ing point. It offers num­e­rous sights with its muse­ums, half-tim­be­red buil­dings and the soaring cathe­dral. A city with manye Always fol­lo­wing the signs, we head sou­thwest on good tar­red roads. The small river Riß takes us to Biber­ach a.d. Riß, which spoils its guests with a pic­tures­que mar­ket squa­re ensem­ble. The tra­di­ti­on-stee­ped his­to­ric town is not long behind us befo­re the twin towers of St. Peter’s col­le­gia­te church herald the arri­val of the Bad Wald­see mud spa and its amen­i­ties. Inci­den­tal­ly, this is also a gre­at desti­na­ti­on for an excur­si­on. On the undu­la­ting rou­te to Wan­gen im All­gäu, muse­um lovers should visit both the Wol­fegg Farm­house Muse­um and the three-storey New Kiß­legg Cast­le. The regi­on has so much to offer. The lar­ge dis­trict town of Wan­gen im All­gäu is known for its tra­di­tio­nal weekly mar­ket, which is given a fit­ting back­drop by the lis­ted old town cen­ter. The his­to­ric image with its pain­ted towers, foun­ta­ins and baro­que faca­des is quick­ly repla­ced by an appe­al­ing mea­dow land­scape. On the last few kilo­me­ters, the ride through the regi­on leads through quiet vil­la­ges and green wood­land until the ter­rain final­ly slo­pes down and the long-distance cycle path, lined with fruit orchards, heads towards its desti­na­ti­on of Lake Con­s­tance. On some stages of the rou­te, mus­cle power and sport­ing spi­rit are requi­red. The­se efforts are reward­ed with fan­ta­stic views and num­e­rous places to stop for refresh­ments, offe­ring peace and rela­xa­ti­on, Upper Swa­bi­an cul­tu­ral delights and much more.
