The south-west arm of Lake Constance is known here as the Untersee, or Lower Lake Constance. Many locals consider it to be the most beautiful part of the lake – not without reason: Your Gentle Bike Tour at Lake Constance leads you past timber-frame houses in medieval villages and along the Swiss and German banks of the Rhine, always with the volcanic hills of the Hegau in sight, to arrive at Europe's largest water fall, the Rhine Falls. Hermann Hesse and Otto Dix were so fascinated by this countryside that they settled here for many years. The Lake Constance cycle path follows a calm route around the Lower Lake, in harmony with nature and very romantic.

Day 1: Individual arrival in Constance
You start your tour in Constance, Lake Constance’s biggest town. 600 years ago this was where the Council of Constance took place, the only council to elect a pope that was held north of the Alps. The Rhine leaves Lake Constance here: 0 kilometres on its way to the North Sea. Only a few minutes by foot from the medieval town centre is the Swiss town of Kreuzlingen with its lively harbour.
Day 2: Constance ‒ Stein am Rhein / Gailingen, approx. 30 / 40 km
Today you cycle along the southern Swiss shore of Lake Constance to Stein am Rhein. Along the route of the Gentle Bike Tour at Lake Constance you will come across Castle Arenenberg and the monastery island Werd, before cycling through picturesque fishing villages such as Gottlieben and Steckborn. Fresco-adorned half-timbered buildings and narrow alleys await you in Stein am Rhein. After an extensive tour of the town follow the Rhine, which has now left Lake Constance, to Gailingen.
Day 3: Day trip to the Rhine Falls, approx. 50 / 30 km
Today you stay on the north bank of the Rhine and follow the course of the river into the town of 171 bay windows: Schaffhausen. The Rhine Fall is not far and you can get up close to it on a boat tour. Castle Laufen thrones high above the waterfall and from the viewing platform you have a breath-taking view of the surroundings. You return to Gailingen in the late afternoon.
Day 4: Stein am Rhein ‒ Radolfzell, approx. 35 / 25 km
The section today takes you via Stein am Rhein to the Höri peninsula. You'll need to pedal pretty fiercely before you can get back to concentrating on just how pretty the countryside is here ‒ which particularly inspired Hermann Hesse. Along the route you have numerous opportunities to go for a dip in the lake or take a break in any of the many local beer gardens.
Day 5: Radolfzell ‒ Meersburg ‒ Constance, approx. 45 km + ferry trip
Today´s route of the Gentle Bike Tour at Lake Constance leads you along the Lake to Überlingen with its well-known lakeshore promenade. Passing the Baroque pilgrim church of Birnau, you will continue on towards Uhldingen where you will find a lakeside dwelling village. In Meersburg you shouldn’t miss the harbour promenade and the ancient, Merovingian castle. The ferry takes you back to Constance.
