The Lake Constance cycle path takes you about 260 km, around the entire lake. But you’ll not truly feel what this lake is all about until you see it from a boat. Most of the boats here transport bikes and the wide range of lines provide you with a whole host of opportunities when you’re planning your trip.
These are the most interesting routes for cyclists:
The routes are numbered and described below.

The boats on Lake Constance do not run during the winter; the various shipping companies start and finish their season at different times. For trips in spring and autumn, we therefore recommend checking the schedules.
