Overview

About this collection

Ride the Lake Constance section of the German Timber-Frame Route. It links charming half-timbered towns and lakeside villages with vineyard slopes and orchard lanes. You’ll roll mostly on quiet roads and paved surfaces, with a few short bits on paths and farm tracks. Expect easy cruising by the water and some short climbs up to viewpoints.

Best with a touring/trekking bike; 32-40 mm tires make the rough patches comfy. Start anywhere and ride either direction. It connects well with the Bodensee cycle path, so you can mix in lakeside loops or ferry hops for a longer tour. Great for photo stops, café breaks, and wandering old towns between stages. Bring a map or GPS, as signage can vary.

A relaxed, scenic ride that blends timber-frame heritage, blue-water views, and a touch of countryside gravel.
