Cycling day trip from Bregenz to Kreuzlingen

This scenic cycling route takes you from the lakeside charm of Bregenz in Austria to Kreuzlingen, right on the Swiss-German border by Lake Constance. Starting in Bregenz, famous for its floating stage and vibrant arts scene, you’ll hug the southern shoreline of Lake Constance for most of the 68 km ride. The elevation is pretty gentle, with just over 300 meters of ascent and descent, making this ideal for a relaxed ride or a day trip.

Most of your journey rolls smoothly over asphalt or paved paths, and about 80% of your ride avoids main roads, sticking to cycleways and quiet roads. Pass through picturesque lakeside towns and villages, with plenty of spots to stop for coffee or a dip in the lake. Your trip ends in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland’s largest city on Lake Constance, right next to the historic town of Konstanz in Germany—perfect for exploring two countries in one day! All in all, a beautiful, leisurely ride with plenty of lakeside vibes.
