Cycling day trip from Friedrichshafen to Romanshorn

Ready for a scenic Lake Constance adventure? This leisurely route takes you from Friedrichshafen, Germany—a city famous for its Zeppelin heritage—right along the lakeshore to the vibrant Swiss town of Romanshorn.

You'll be rolling for about 83 km, mostly on smooth asphalt and dedicated cycleways, winding through picturesque lakeside villages and peaceful countryside. The route is generally gentle, with just a few manageable climbs (about 400 meters up and down in total), making it perfect for a relaxed day ride.

You’ll spend most of your ride on quiet roads and separated cycleways, with just the occasional stretch on paths or gravel sections—perfect for soaking in those “Bodensee” views without worrying about traffic. As you arrive in Romanshorn, reward yourself with a stroll along the Swiss waterfront or grab a lakeside coffee.

Don’t forget your camera—both towns offer historic sights, charming harbors, and plenty of photo ops by the sparkling waters of Lake Constance!
