Gita in bici di un giorno da Gaienhofen a Kreuzlingen

This scenic ride starts in the peaceful lakeside village of Gaienhofen, nestled on the Höri peninsula. Known as the retreat of writer Hermann Hesse, Gaienhofen charms visitors with its half-timbered houses and lovely Lake Constance views.

The route stretches about 42 km, mostly on paved paths and quiet roads—perfect for a leisurely day out. Expect gentle climbs (about 485 meters ascent) and breezy descents as you roll through lush green countryside and lakeside views. You’ll weave through a mix of cycleways, dedicated bike paths, and tranquil village streets. With a touch of packed gravel along the way, a hybrid or trekking bike is handy.

The journey finishes in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland’s “gateway to Lake Constance.” This lively border town is famous for its harbor promenade and proximity to the picturesque city of Constance just over the bridge. Grab an ice cream, stroll by the water, or relax in one of the lakeside parks—perfect for capping off a ride filled with fresh air and gentle adventure.
