Cycling day trip from Radolfzell to Bodman-Ludwigshafen

Looking for a scenic cycling escape along the shores of Lake Constance? This route takes you from the charming town of Radolfzell to the twin villages of Bodman-Ludwigshafen—a stretch of just under 24 kilometers that packs in beautiful lake views, climbs through rolling hills, and plenty of quiet paths.

Setting off from Radolfzell, famed for its old town atmosphere and bustling promenade, you’ll soon trade urban vibes for tranquil cycleways, winding along mostly paved and asphalt surfaces. There’s a decent bit of elevation here—around 300 meters up and down—so expect a few rewarding hilltop views before you sweep down towards the pretty waterfront of Bodman-Ludwigshafen.

Your ride ends by the Bodensee’s western tip, where these two villages offer some lakeside relaxation. It’s the perfect spot to refuel at a café or stroll the waterfront. With more than 90% of the route on smooth pavement and plenty of peaceful paths, this ride is as easy on the legs as it is on the eyes!
