Quick ride by bicycle from Meersburg to Friedrichshafen

This lovely 19.5 km ride takes you along the northern shore of Lake Constance, starting from the postcard-perfect town of Meersburg. Meersburg is famous for its medieval old town and the oldest inhabited castle in Germany, so it’s worth a wander before you hop on your bike.

The route is mostly flat, with gentle ascents (about 96 m up and 100 m down), rolling along quiet roads and smooth paths, making it a breeze for most cyclists. You'll pedal through vineyards, charming lakeside villages, and get loads of postcard views over the water. The ride is mostly paved, so you won't be worrying about rough surfaces, though you'll get a little taste of old-Europe charm with a short stretch of cobblestones.

Your ride finishes in Friedrichshafen, a vibrant town best known as the home of the Zeppelin. If you have time, check out the Zeppelin Museum or just enjoy a stroll along the lakeside promenade with an ice cream. Whether you’re here for the history or the scenery, this route is a relaxed and beautiful way to experience Lake Constance!
