Cycling day trip from Konstanz to Schaffhausen

Kick off your cycling adventure in the charming city of Konstanz, nestled on the serene shores of Lake Constance. Known for its vibrant university crowd and stunning medieval architecture, it’s a great place to take a spin around before you start your ride.

Your journey to Schaffhausen spans around 65 kilometers of mostly smooth asphalt, winding through lush countryside with a few gentle climbs adding just the right amount of challenge. You'll pedal through scenic paths, quiet roads, and dedicated cycleways—enjoying the tranquility as much as the exercise.

You’ll ascend and descend about 771 meters, but none of those hills will feel like the Alpines! Make sure to pace yourself and soak in the views as you cruise through this gorgeous part of the world.

Arriving in Schaffhausen, prepare to be wowed by the Rhine Falls, Europe’s largest waterfall, just outside the town. A stroll through the cobbled streets of Schaffhausen's old town with its remarkable oriel windows and charming cafes is the perfect way to wrap up the ride. This route is a harmonious blend of history, nature, and cycling—ideal for a laid-back day on two wheels. Safe travels!
