A plea­su­re tour for the eyes and soul Our Lake Con­s­tance cycle tour fol­lows rural paths and leads to the high­lights of a uni­que cul­tu­ral land­scape. The­se include the monas­tery of St. Gal­len and the island of Rei­chen­au, which are UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Sites, the old town island of Lin­dau, Salem, Meers­burg and Birn­au. You will always stay in the best hotels in the regi­on. We have meti­cu­lous­ly plan­ned our cycle rou­te so that you hard­ly come into cont­act with the streams of tou­rists and cars that threa­ten to dri­ve away the magic of the land­scape from year to year. On the ter­ra­no­va trip, you will immer­se yours­elf in a magi­cal, tran­quil land­scape with ponds and forests whe­re deer some­ti­mes gra­ze bes­i­de the road and vil­la­ges who­se quiet churches and farms appear untouch­ed by the intru­si­ons of civi­liza­ti­on into this land­scape. This is the world in which the inspi­ra­ti­on of artists and poets flou­ris­hed! All the­se beau­ties, tog­e­ther with the deli­cious wine and other culina­ry delights that go with them, are among the quiet plea­su­res that can only be expe­ri­en­ced if you cap­tu­re them with your eyes and senses!

Jour­ney to Überlingen
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
From 3 p.m., your rooms will be rea­dy at the Park­ho­tel St. Leon­hard, situa­ted high abo­ve Über­lin­gen. From the ter­races and many rooms of this com­for­ta­ble and first-class hotel, you can look far out over Lake Con­s­tance, which seems to stretch end­less­ly to the east and west. Over the next few days, you will not only cycle around this vast lake dis­trict, you will also get to know a lot of the cul­tu­re of this land­scape. At 4 pm, your tour gui­des will wel­co­me you at the hotel recep­ti­on. You will then be dri­ven to the town cen­ter of Über­lin­gen to begin an expert­ly gui­ded tour of the old impe­ri­al city. The con­tours of the medieval town, which flou­ris­hed in the 15th and 16th cen­tu­ries, can still be cle­ar­ly seen today. Migh­ty gates and walls have been pre­ser­ved to this day. But whe­re else can you find a ring of moats and ram­parts car­ved out of the sur­roun­ding rock? The soft molas­se rock of the hills around Über­lin­gen allo­wed the town’s mas­ter buil­ders to crea­te this uni­que con­s­truc­tion. The heart of the old town is pic­tures­que­ly grou­ped around the Hof­statt squa­re with the town hall and many Gothic step­ped gab­les. The Gothic cathe­dral of St. Nicho­las is also near­by. It is not only impres­si­ve on the out­side, but also con­ta­ins pre­cious tre­asu­res on the insi­de. The­se include the works of art by Über­lin­gen wood­car­ver Jörg Zürn. He crea­ted the sacra­ment house and a magni­fi­cent high altar. Din­ner 1st over­night stay at the Park­ho­tel St. Leon­hard**** / Überlingen. 
Day 1
Roco­co and Trälatenweg
Distanz: 34 km Höhe (+): 290m Höhe (-): 350m
When you arri­ve from the break­fast buf­fet, the bikes are alre­a­dy lined up next to the hotel and rea­dy for depar­tu­re. The cycle rou­te beg­ins with an easy des­cent and is slight­ly hil­ly on paths away from the main road. This is fol­lo­wed by forest and mea­dow paths with won­derful views of the lake. We cycle along them right up to the gates of Birn­au. This roco­co church has almost beco­me a sym­bol of the enti­re Lake Con­s­tance land­scape and is one of its most visi­ted tre­asu­res. A balus­tra­de stret­ches out in front of the church, from whe­re you can enjoy a magni­fi­cent view of the lake. Meers­burg is one of the most roman­tic medieval towns on the lake. Steep alley­ways are lined with beau­tiful old hou­ses. They lead up to the cast­le. Annet­te von Dros­te-Hüls­hof, a poet from the Müns­ter­land regi­on, once lived here in Meers­burg. After an indi­vi­du­al tour and lunch break, the bikes are rea­dy to con­ti­nue to Salem, the for­mer Cis­ter­ci­an monas­tery. It is still the resi­dence of the Mar­gra­ve of Baden and home to the world-famous boar­ding school. The rou­te to Salem also takes us along field, forest and mea­dow paths through a see­mingly untouch­ed land­scape. We cycle past tran­quil ponds and see tho­se stran­ge hills cal­led drum­lins, which are evi­dence of the Ice Age. Part of our cycle rou­te is part of the Pre­la­tes’ Trail. The mon­ks and priests from Salem Abbey used to walk along it to Birn­au to say mass. The venerable walls of Sale­m’s monas­tery com­plex, which today hou­ses a renow­ned and inter­na­tio­nal­ly renow­ned boar­ding school, rise up befo­re us. Here you can join a short gui­ded tour (approx. 1 hour) or take a cof­fee break. You will then be taken back to Über­lin­gen by ter­ra­no­va bus (10 km). Din­ner 2nd over­night stay at the Park­ho­tel St. Leon­hard**** / Überlingen. 
Day 2
On roman­tic paths to Lindau
Distanz: 51 km Höhe (+): 370m Höhe (-): 400m
In the mor­ning, we start the cycle tour in the pret­ty litt­le town of Mark­dorf (trans­fer from Über­lin­gen: 22 km). For the rou­te to Lin­dau, ter­ra­no­va has cho­sen rou­tes that lead along hid­den paths. We cycle past old fruit farms, see small vil­la­ges, cross small woods and pass a pic­tures­que litt­le lake. Then the land­scape des­cends to Lake Con­s­tance and we ride down to Was­ser­burg. You can actual­ly see the remains of a cast­le the­re: It is a cre­nell­a­ted wall against which the waves of Lake Con­s­tance lap­ped. It sur­rounds a beau­tiful­ly situa­ted ceme­tery and a church who­se oni­on dome is one of the most pho­to­gra­phed motifs on the lake. Was­ser­burg and Lin­dau are at the cen­ter of Lake Con­s­tance tou­rism, which attracts huge num­bers of visi­tors. We cycle almost traf­fic-free from Was­ser­burg to Lin­dau to the gates of our hotel at Lin­dau har­bor. The har­bor ent­rance with its light­house and lions is one of the post­card motifs of Lake Con­s­tance. So that you have enough time for a stroll along the har­bor pro­me­na­de with a view of the Alps, this evening is at your lei­su­re (din­ner not included). Over­night stay at the Lin­dau­er Hof **** / Lindau. 
Day 3
From Lin­dau through Aus­tria to Switzerland
Distanz: 32 km Höhe (+): 380m Höhe (-): 70m
Lin­dau is ano­ther must-see medieval town! Here, too, we will give you an expert gui­ded tour so that you get a good over­view of its histo­ry and don’t miss any of its archi­tec­tu­ral gems. Here you will find alley­ways and streets lined with arca­des, a magni­fi­cent­ly pain­ted town hall crow­ned with step­ped gab­les and beau­tiful­ly deco­ra­ted churches. The port of Lin­dau is the most important in Bava­ria and its ent­rance is flan­ked by a light­house and a huge stone lion. The cycle path from Lin­dau to Bre­genz takes us across the Ger­man-Aus­tri­an bor­der. Our rou­te leads along win­ding paths clo­se to the banks to the natu­ral idyll of the Bre­gen­zer Ache and final­ly to the natu­re reser­ve at Rohr­spitz, which is sur­roun­ded by two bran­ches of the Rhi­ne. This is a world for migra­to­ry birds, herons, bit­terns and num­e­rous duck spe­ci­es. The Swiss are some­ti­mes very strict about their bor­ders and also check cyclists (very rare­ly, but you should still be able to iden­ti­fy yours­elf the­se days!) After pas­sing through the cus­toms sta­ti­on, we reach the small town of Rhein­eck. From here, we have to climb a con­sidera­ble slo­pe to reach the high alti­tu­de town of St. Gal­len. This effort is reli­e­ved by a short train ride (for small groups in the ter­ra­no­va bus). From the train sta­ti­on in St. Gal­len, it is a 10-minu­te walk (650 m) to our modern and very com­for­ta­ble hotel, which is loca­ted near the old town and is con­side­red to be the best in the city. Evening at lei­su­re. Over­night stay at the Hotel Ein­stein**** / St. Gallen. 
Day 4
St. Gal­len’s monas­tery dis­trict and trip to Gottlieben
Distanz: 44 km Höhe (+): 230m Höhe (-): 540m
From the Midd­le Ages to the pre­sent day, St. Gal­len has always been a rich city. The migh­ty cen­tu­ries-old monas­tery with its cathe­dral and the world-famous Abbey Libra­ry (UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site) form the heart of the old town, which is tru­ly worth see­ing. A know­led­geable expert gui­des us the­re with elo­quence and inex­haus­ti­ble exper­ti­se. Here we can also admi­re works by Anton Feucht­may­er! At the end of the city tour, our tour gui­de will take you on foot to a vil­la and uni­ver­si­ty dis­trict on a hills­i­de. Here on the out­skirts of St. Gal­len, the bikes are wai­ting for you again. A cycle rou­te now takes you back down to the lakes­hore, whe­re you cycle downhill more often than uphill. We slow­ly approach the lakes­hore, which we left the day befo­re, on agri­cul­tu­ral paths and small roads. Our desti­na­ti­on for the day is Gott­lie­ben in Switz­er­land. This small vil­la­ge with its pic­tures­que half-tim­be­red hou­ses lies on the shores of Unter­see. The cast­le of the Bishop of Con­s­tance is still the­re. This is whe­re the unfort­u­na­te Czech refor­mer Hus was abduc­ted to jus­ti­fy his reforms at the Coun­cil of Con­s­tance. For us, Gott­lie­ben is a par­ti­cu­lar­ly home­ly place in the Lake Con­s­tance regi­on. Our hotel is a his­to­ric, lis­ted buil­ding. The rooms are the­r­e­fo­re very dif­fe­rent and some­what smal­ler. We con­scious­ly accept this lack of com­fort becau­se it is one of the most roman­tic places on the banks of the Rhi­ne and the lake. From the restau­rant ter­race, you can look out over the Woll­ma­tin­ger Ried natu­re reser­ve and the island of Rei­chen­au. On warm sum­mer nights, you can expe­ri­ence unfor­gettable sun­sets here. 1st din­ner in the hotel restau­rant Over­night stay at Hotel Por­to Sofie*** / Gottlieben. 
Day 5
From Rei­chen­au to Stein am Rhein
Distanz: 48 km Höhe (+): 230m Höhe (-): 140m
Today, after Lin­dau, you will get to know ano­ther island on Lake Con­s­tance. Rei­chen­au is famous for the fine vege­ta­bles that grow the­re and for seve­ral of Ger­many’s most venerable Roma­nes­que churches. We cross over the­re by boat from Gott­lie­ben. On Rei­chen­au, we will show you one of the three Roma­nes­que churches (and cycle past the other two). The Ale­man­nic abbot Walah­frid once lived in the Rei­chen­au monas­tery. He was not only an important church­man, but also an out­stan­ding scho­lar. The Ger­man emper­or ent­rus­ted him with the edu­ca­ti­on of his son. This also explains why an emper­or is buried in the cathe­dral church. Walah­frid was a gifted gar­de­ner. He crea­ted the famous herb gar­den that can still be visi­ted today. The scho­lar left a descrip­ti­on of this gar­den in Latin hexa­me­ters — ano­ther cul­tu­ral asset that has sur­vi­ved to this day. We cycle — always clo­se to the shore — around the island and reach the Ger­man side of the lower lake via a dam lined with pop­lars. After Allens­bach and Radolf­zell, our cycle path final­ly leads us away from Lake Con­s­tance and over an (invi­si­ble) green bor­der back into Switz­er­land. Short­ly befo­re the end of today’s stage in Stein am Rhein, you reach the Rhi­ne and cycle back to the lake. Stein am Rhein is a tru­ly pic­tures­que litt­le town. Its char­ming half-tim­be­red hou­ses look like a pic­tu­re gal­lery, the faca­des are so lavish­ly pain­ted with fres­coes. We return from Stein am Rhein by train (smal­ler groups can tra­vel by ter­ra­no­va bus). Final din­ner in the hotel restau­rant Over­night stay at the Hotel Por­to Sofie*** / Gottlieben. 
Day 6
Coun­cil city of Con­s­tance and departure
Distanz: 22 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
The round trip around the lake con­cludes with today’s cycle rou­te: we get on our bikes in front of the hotel to cycle along the See­rhein back to Ger­ma­ny near Con­s­tance. A beau­tiful cycle path cros­ses the city of the Coun­cil. The famous Coun­cil, one of the most important of the Midd­le Ages, was held here from 1414 to 1418. Your tour gui­de will give you a brief intro­duc­tion to this inte­res­t­ing histo­ry. You will then have time to stroll through the his­to­ric town cen­ter or enjoy a cof­fee on the mar­ket squa­re or at the har­bour befo­re cycling through the ele­gant vil­la dis­trict out of Con­s­tance to the sou­thern shore of Lake Über­lin­gen. You fol­low a quiet and pic­tures­que cycle path that takes you to the vil­la­ge of Wall­hau­sen, from who­se small har­bor we take a fer­ry to Über­lin­gen. Your cycle tour around Lake Con­s­tance ends in Über­lin­gen. Accor­ding to the long-stan­ding time­ta­ble, the ship docks in Über­lin­gen dai­ly at 13:35. The­r­e­fo­re, plea­se do not book a train that departs ear­lier than 2 pm! From the har­bour in Über­lin­gen, your tour gui­des will dri­ve ever­yo­ne who has park­ed their car at the Park­ho­tel St. Leon­hard up to the par­king lot. Of cour­se, you can also be taken to the train sta­ti­on on request. 

From now on, you will earn Miles & More miles with every new booking.

Additional information

Arri­val and departure
We recom­mend tra­ve­ling by train or by car. Alt­hough the­re is an air­port right on the lake in Fried­richs­ha­fen, as a small regio­nal air­port the­re are only very few and incon­ve­ni­ent con­nec­tions. In addi­ti­on, the air­port is almost 60 minu­tes by car from the start­ing hotel in Über­lin­gen. Alt­hough Stutt­gart and Zurich offer signi­fi­cant­ly bet­ter flight con­nec­tions, they are still at least 90 minu­tes’ dri­ve from the start­ing hotel in Überlingen.Arrival and depar­tu­re by carIf you want to reach Über­lin­gen quick­ly by car, it is best to use the B 81 (E70) high­way from Stuttgart/Vaihingen towards Sin­gen as far as the Sin­gen inter­ch­an­ge. From the­re, take the B 98 high­way in the direc­tion of Stockach/Lindau until it ends befo­re Stock­ach. The high­way turns into the B 31 coun­try road. Turn left towards Überlingen/Burgberg, then take the exit to the right towards Überlingen/Gewerbegebiet Nord. Turn right at the bend and fol­low the signs for Park­ho­tel. From this point, the sign­posts will gui­de you direct­ly to the hotel. The hotel has an unguard­ed par­king lot whe­re you can park your car free of char­ge for the dura­ti­on of your trip. Arri­val and depar­tu­re by train Arri­val and depar­tu­re by train is to/from Über­lin­gen. Über­lin­gen train sta­ti­on is loca­ted in the town cen­ter, right next to the town’s cen­tral bus sta­ti­on. From the sta­ti­on you should call a cab to reach the start­ing hotel Park­ho­tel St. Leon­hard (2 km): e.g. City Taxi: 07551 64026; Taxi cen­ter Über­lin­gen: 07551–51 13 or 2121. The jour­ney around Lake Con­s­tance ends in Über­lin­gen. The fer­ry with which we cross the lake to Über­lin­gen at the end of the last cycling stage departs at 13:35 accor­ding to the time­ta­ble. We the­r­e­fo­re recom­mend that you plan a lunch break in Über­lin­gen and book your train later in the after­noon (not befo­re 14:00!).
