Quick ride by bicycle from Friedrichshafen to Markdorf

Start your ride in Friedrichshafen, the bustling lakeside city on the shore of Lake Constance, known for its Zeppelin history and lovely waterfront promenade. From here, you’ll pedal northwest towards Markdorf, a charming town surrounded by orchards and vineyards.

The route is a relaxed 15 km, winding mostly on smooth paved paths and quiet roads—perfect for a leisurely spin without much traffic. There’s a gentle climb of about 88 meters, but nothing too strenuous, so you’ll have plenty of energy to enjoy the views of rolling hills and distant mountains. Most of your ride is on dedicated paths, with a short stretch on gravel.

As you reach Markdorf, take a moment to stroll its historic old town, featuring the striking St. Nikolaus Church and the remnants of medieval town walls. It’s a lovely contrast to Friedrichshafen’s modern, lakeside vibe.

This is an ideal route if you love scenic countryside, charming small towns, and smooth cycling surfaces. Perfect for a sunny day!
