A Journey Around Lake Constance

To circumnavigate Lake Constance in Vorarlberg (Bodensee) by bike is to enjoy some of Europe’s most captivating scenery, winding your way along its picturesque shores on cycle-friendly trails that stick close to the water’s edge. And you can do just that on a 7-night tour this summer with Inntravel. Bodensee is Europe’s third largest lake and there is a real sense of journey as you discover enchanting medieval towns characterised by houses with intricately painted façades; luxuriant, colourful gardens on idyllic islands; and beautiful scenery at every turn.

From the Austrian lakeside town of Bregenz, famed for its annual summer operatic festival, take the cable car up to the lookout on Pfänder Mountain and be rewarded with inspirational views over the lake that will whet your appetite for the week ahead as you cycle on through Switzerland and Germany. The network of ferries that criss-cross the lake are easy to use, and these boat trips form an integral part of the whole experience. They offer you a different perspective of the lake, and also allow you the opportunity to reflect on your two-wheeled discovery of the very heart of Europe.
