Cycling day trip from Lindau to Meersburg

This lakeside ride takes you from Lindau, the charming island town renowned for its harbor and medieval old town, all the way to the castle-topped Meersburg on Lake Constance. The route covers just under 50 km and is a mostly paved cruise, sticking close to the gentle lakeshore. Expect minimal climbing—less than 300 meters up and down—making it accessible for most riders.

You’ll pedal mostly along quiet roads and well-maintained paths, passing through picturesque villages, vineyards, orchards, and plenty of spots where you can stop for lakeside views (or maybe an ice cream). The area is famous for its lush scenery and storybook feel, especially on approach to Meersburg, which is crowned by Germany’s oldest inhabited castle.

Whether you’re drawn by history, scenery, or just a really pleasant day out on the bike, this is a classic Bodensee route!
