By bicycle from Immenstaad am Bodensee to Markdorf

Ready for a scenic spin? Start your ride in Immenstaad am Bodensee, a charming lakeside town famous for its apple orchards and stunning views across Lake Constance. As you pedal out, you’ll follow mostly smooth asphalt paths (over 90% paved!), winding between vineyards, fields, and shadows of the Alps in the distance. The route climbs gently—just enough to get the legs working, but nothing too tough.

It’s a relaxed 9.5 km trip, mostly along quiet roads and peaceful bike paths, with barely any gravel. Just before you reach Markdorf, you’ll notice the gentle ascent pays off: this small town sits a bit higher up, offering pretty panoramas over the region. Markdorf itself is known for its historic old town and the vantage point from Gehrenberg tower—worth a quick detour if you have the energy!

All in all, this is an easygoing ride with beautiful southern Baden-Württemberg countryside, perfect for a relaxed outing or as a link between the lakeshore and towns a bit inland.
