Cycling day trip from Schaffhausen to Kreuzlingen

Set off from Schaffhausen, famous for the jaw-dropping Rhine Falls, and weave your way southeast toward Kreuzlingen on the Swiss shores of Lake Constance. This 65 km ride is mostly on smooth, paved paths and tranquil roads—so you’ll have plenty of time to admire the rolling hills, charming Swiss villages, and stretches of vineyards along the way.

You’ll get a bit of a workout too, with about 739 meters of gentle climbing (don’t worry, every up has a down!). Most of the route runs on dedicated bike paths or quiet rural roads, keeping things peaceful and relaxed. There’s just a sprinkle of gravel for adventure, but nothing tricky.

Ending in Kreuzlingen, you’ll roll right up to Lake Constance’s sparkling waters—perfect for a post-ride dip or lakeside coffee. Don’t forget to stroll along the lakeside promenade; you’re just a stone’s throw from the German border!

This ride is a classic Swiss countryside cruise: scenic, serene, and easily doable in a day for any enthusiastic cyclist.
