Cycling day trip from Stein am Rhein to Radolfzell

Set out from the beautiful medieval town of Stein am Rhein, famous for its colorful frescoed houses and perfectly preserved old town charm on the banks of the Rhine. The ride to Radolfzell is a scenic 26 km route mostly on paved surfaces and quiet roads, making it ideal for a laid-back, enjoyable cycle.

As you leave Stein am Rhein, the Rhine River will be your companion for much of the way, offering peaceful views and plenty of photo ops. The route gently rolls with around 165 meters of ascent and descent—nothing too taxing, so it's great whether you’re a casual rider or looking for a comfortable tour.

You'll pass through stretches of tranquil countryside and cute Swiss and German villages, all while skirting the edge of Lake Constance as you approach Radolfzell. This lakeside town is known for its relaxed atmosphere and lively waterfront—an inviting finish for your ride.

Most of your journey is on small roads and dedicated cycleways, so you can really enjoy the lake breeze and those classic rural scenes. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a well-earned slice of cake at a café by Radolfzell’s harbor when you arrive!
