Cycling day trip from Konstanz to Meersburg

Ready for a ride along the shores of Lake Constance? This scenic cycling route takes you from the historic city of Konstanz to the charming town of Meersburg, covering about 63 km with some rolling hills (expect around 737 meters of ascent, but nothing too crazy!).

You’ll be pedaling mostly on smooth surfaces—mostly asphalt and paved paths—perfect for road bikes or hybrids. The ride starts in Konstanz at the Swiss border, a lively university town famous for its medieval Old Town and stunning cathedral. As you head north, you’ll enjoy quiet roads, tranquil paths through small villages, and plenty of lake views.

Your destination, Meersburg, is a picturesque wine town perched on a hillside above the water. Don’t miss the fairy-tale Meersburg Castle, one of Germany’s oldest inhabited castles, and maybe treat yourself to a lakeside gelato or local wine.

Overall, it’s a longer ride but packed with beautiful scenery, a blend of history and natural beauty, and mostly peaceful cycling with only a hint of challenging hills. Perfect for a full day adventure!
