    The Untersee round at the western Lake Constance is perfect as a day route for active, adventurous people. The bike paths are always close to the lake shore and lead past bathing spots, viewpoints and places to eat.

    Author’s recommendation

    On the Swiss lakeside, a detour to Arenenberg Castle and Park is worth it! From the lakeside path near Salenstein, over the tracks and main road, the Arenenbergstraße leads up to the castle.

    Roadbook

    This route starts at the train station in Radolfzell on Lake Constance and runs on the bike path parallel to the B 33 towards Konstanz. On the way, you cycle through Markelfingen and Allensbach. Instead of big climbs, you can expect relaxed views of the Untersee. Shortly after Allensbach, you pass by Hegne Castle. Finally, arriving in Konstanz, you cross the new Rhine bridge to the border crossing Gottlieben (CH). Shortly after customs, a beautiful lakeside path leads to Ermatingen. Modernly constructed bike paths take you over Berlingen and Steckborn to Stein am Rhein. For the return trip, two options are available. Either via the Höri peninsula (Wangen – Gaienhofen – Moos) or towards Singen around the Schienerberg (Ramsen – Wiesholz – Bohlingen – Moos), back to Radolfzell.
