Cycling day trip from Öhningen to Radolfzell

Ready for a scenic ride along Lake Constance? Start your tour in the charming village of Öhningen, tucked right on the Swiss-German border and steeped in history (it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site thanks to prehistoric pile dwellings!). Set out on this roughly 23 km route, which meanders mostly on quiet roads and cycle paths—think smooth asphalt with a dash of gravel for a bit of variety.

You’ll barely notice the gentle ascent and descent, letting you enjoy beautiful countryside views and glimpses of the lake between stretches of forest and rolling fields. About 200 meters of climbing means you’ll get your workout in, but nothing too strenuous.

Arriving in Radolfzell, you’ll find yourself in a charming old town right on the western arm of Lake Constance. It’s known for its vibrant weekly market and access to nature reserves like the Mettnau peninsula—perfect for a post-ride stroll or a lakeside coffee.

In short: scenic, mostly paved, low-traffic, and packed with lakeside and village charm. Happy cycling!
