Lindau Cycling Routes

Discover easy lakeside spins and scenic day rides around Lindau, the island town on Lake Constance (Bodensee) where Germany meets Austria and Switzerland. Expect mostly flat, well-signed paths with big alpine views—great for relaxed cruising, family outings, or café-to-café rides with swim breaks.

Classic picks include sections of the Bodensee-Radweg, a quick cross-border roll to Bregenz and its lakeside stage, vineyard villages like Wasserburg and Nonnenhorn, and quiet backroads into the Allgäu foothills if you’re up for a gentle climb. Surfaces are largely paved, with occasional smooth gravel.

Getting around is easy: trains reach Lindau’s island and mainland stations, and ferries open up fun one-way options. Handy starting points are the harbor lighthouse, the old town, or any lakeside park. Pack a lock, a swimsuit, and a light wind layer—the lake can breeze up in the afternoon. Best season runs from spring to autumn.
