Cycling day trip from Kreuzlingen to Bodman-Ludwigshafen

This ride takes you from the Swiss border town of Kreuzlingen, right on Lake Constance, all the way along the scenic shoreline to Bodman-Ludwigshafen in Germany. Expect a leisurely 39 km ride, peppered with gentle climbs and descents (about 470 meters up and down)—nothing too extreme, but enough to keep things interesting!

The route is about as bike-friendly as it gets: mostly smooth asphalt and paved paths (over 90%), winding along quiet roads, lake-side cycleways, and the occasional gravel section for variety. You’ll spend a good chunk of time right by the water, with the Swiss and German countryside as your backdrop—perfect for relaxed pedaling.

Kreuzlingen is known for its lovely lakeside promenade and is right next to the lively Swiss city of Konstanz. At the other end, Bodman-Ludwigshafen is a peaceful twin-village surrounded by vineyards and wooded hills—a great spot for a post-ride swim or a coffee with a view. This is an ideal route for anyone who loves lakeside vistas and cross-border adventures!
