Fit and active through the Lake Constance region

Explore the beauty of nature on two wheels

Many areas along the Lake Constance cycle path can be easily explored by e-bike, bike or mountain bike. The most convenient routes are along the shores of Lake Constance. Those who prefer to cycle over hill and dale should take the tour to the Appenzellerland. There, picturesque views of the imposing Alpstein massif compensate for the exertion. The e-bike takes you comfortably through the Rhine delta in Rheineck. It is an internationally significant nature reserve and a destination for nature lovers. It is also an important breeding and nesting area for birds – over 330 species of birds have been observed here. The flora and fauna impress with a multitude of rare species.
