Cycling from Kreuzlingen to Radolfzell

This ride takes you from Kreuzlingen, right on the Swiss shore of Lake Constance (Bodensee), over to the historic town of Radolfzell in Germany. Set out from Kreuzlingen, known for its lovely lake promenade and as the Swiss neighbor to popular Konstanz. The route covers just under 30 km and is mostly flat, though you’ll get a decent bit of climbing with about 415 meters up and a similar amount down, so expect a couple of uphill pushes and some fun descents.

The ride is super bike-friendly, with most of the journey following smooth asphalt and dedicated paths or quiet country roads—perfect for a relaxing cruise or a steady-paced workout. You’ll roll through lakefront scenery, small villages, and open countryside. The final destination, Radolfzell, is famous for its charming old town, lakeside vibe, and relaxed cafés—a great place to reward yourself after your ride!

All in all, this route serves up a great mix of views and peaceful cycling, and with excellent surfaces most of the way, it’s suitable for nearly every type of bike. Don’t forget your camera!
