THE ROUTE

Shoreline cycling on the Bodensee-Radweg

The Bodensee-Radweg links scenic, shoreline bike paths with cultural waypoints — islands, volcanic features and medieval settlements — making a day on a trekking bike a concentrated taste of the region.

THE EQUIPMENT

Extremely robust trekking bikes

Rented trekking bikes are built for mixed, primarily shore-near routes and can support single-day exploration or roll into longer, multi-day trips for riders who want to extend the journey.

THE FAMILY FACTOR

Family-friendly fares and canoe option

Families benefit from special pricing—children and teenagers up to 15 ride at half price when accompanied by parents, and children under 6 ride free; there is also the option to rent a canoe for a complementary waterborne leg.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A day rental on a trekking bike is a measured, physical way to sample Lake Constance: steady pedaling on well-marked shore paths, short stops in medieval towns or waterfront hamlets, and the flexibility to swap spokes for paddles if you add a canoe segment.
