Cycling day trip from Ulm to Friedrichshafen

Get ready for a scenic ride from Ulm to Friedrichshafen! You’ll kick off in Ulm, famous for its stunning Gothic Minster with the tallest church steeple in the world. After rolling out of this historic city, your 120 km route winds mostly over smooth asphalt and peaceful paths—perfect for soaking in the tranquil countryside.

Expect gentle hills, with a total climb just under 600 meters, and plenty of descent as you head towards Lake Constance. Most of your journey keeps you away from busy roads; about half the time you’ll be on dedicated paths or quiet roads, passing through classic Swabian villages and lush forests.

As you approach Friedrichshafen, the landscape opens up to stunning lake views and the distant Alps. This lakeside town is known for its Zeppelin airships, and you’ll finish your ride just steps from the waterfront—a perfect spot to relax and dip your feet after a rewarding day in the saddle!
