Gita in bici di un giorno da Costanza a Sciaffusa

Ready for a picturesque ride? This route takes you from the charming German town of Konstanz, perched on the banks of Lake Constance, to the historic Swiss town of Schaffhausen—famous for the spectacular Rhine Falls.

You'll cover roughly 65 km, mostly on paved paths and quiet roads, with a fair bit of up and down (about 770 meters both ways), so be ready for some rolling hills. The ride weaves through farmland, forests, and pretty villages along the border. Nature lovers will enjoy the tranquil lakeside stretches near Konstanz and the scenic Rhine river views as you approach Schaffhausen.

Konstanz is a university city with a lively old town, great cafés, and lots of medieval flair, perfect for a pre-ride espresso! At the other end, Schaffhausen welcomes you with its picturesque old town and, of course, the thundering Rhine Falls—the largest waterfall in Europe, definitely worth a post-ride visit.

Pack some snacks, bring your camera, and enjoy one of the most beautiful cross-border rides in the region!
