Cycling day trip from Lindau to Rorschach

This scenic ride takes you from Lindau, a charming Bavarian island town on Lake Constance, to the Swiss lakeside town of Rorschach. The route covers just under 40 kilometers and is mostly on paved surfaces, with gorgeous lake views almost the whole way.

You’ll roll out from Lindau’s picturesque harbor, famous for its historic lighthouse and stone lion statue, then glide along a mix of cycleways and quiet roads. The elevation is gentle, so it’s a relaxing ride with only a few small climbs—just enough to keep things interesting.

Most of your ride hugs the lakeshore, passing through pretty villages and open fields. There’s a touch of gravel and some cobblestone stretches, but nothing too tricky. As you near Rorschach, keep an eye out for colorful boats and the artsy lakeside promenade.

Rorschach itself is a great spot to unwind, with Swiss cafés and lots of spots to dip your toes in the water. Perfect for an easy day out with plenty of postcard-worthy moments!
