Cycling day trip from Überlingen to Lindau

This ride takes you from the charming lakeside town of Überlingen all the way to the picturesque island city of Lindau. Covering just under 62 km, the route hugs the scenic northern shore of Lake Constance (Bodensee), making for some seriously stunning views and plenty of opportunities to stop for a lakeside picnic or quick swim.

Most of the ride is on smooth asphalt or paved paths, and thanks to a gentle ascent of just over 300 meters, it’s perfect for intermediate cyclists looking for a day trip with a bit of a workout but no major climbs. You’ll cruise along quiet roads and dedicated bike paths, passing through vineyards, rolling fields, and postcard-perfect villages. There’s just a splash of cobblestone and gravel — enough to keep things interesting without slowing you down.

Start your day exploring Überlingen’s medieval old town before heading off, and don’t miss Lindau’s famous harbor with its lighthouse and Bavarian Lion statue at the finish line. Grab a coffee in Lindau’s historic Altstadt to celebrate — you’ve just cycled one of the prettiest sections of the Bodensee!
