the trip description
This bike ride around the Lake Constance takes you through the small typical German villages at the foot of the Alps. The route is flat and is composed almost exclusively of bike lanes which wind along the beaches of Lake Constance. Discover the charming towns of Constance, Lindau and Bregenz, wander between the apple orchards and vineyards near the castle of Meersburg and enjoy several ferry crossings to admire the lake from the water side. The Lake Constance with its magnificent panorama is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful vacation spots in the region.

Un parcours très facile et agréable en famille autour du lac de Constance. Avec nos deux filles, l’aînée de 7 ans qui a pédalé tout le long, et la cadette de 4 ans et demi en vélo suiveur.
De chouettes vacances sportives !

Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à pédaler autour du lac de Constance. Les amoureux de la nature apprécieront particulièrement la visite de l'île de Mainau et la traversée du delta du Rhin. Les habitants sont très accueillants. Du dépaysement situé tout près de la France ! De plus, tout est prévu pour les cyclistes même en ville : pistes larges, parkings, WC. De nombreuses haltes possibles autour du lac pour se baigner dans de l'eau à 22°. Organisation du séjour impeccable !

Toute la logistique, les vélos, les pistes cyclables, l'accueil dans les étapes sont parfaits. Idem pour l'accueil de l'équipe du Vélo Voyageur lorsque j'ai posé quelques questions par courriel ou téléphone, pour préparer mon Tour.

Très agréable ballade autour de ce lac, agrémentée de pistes cyclables bien entretenues qui bénéficient de la "culture vélo" des habitants aux alentours.
Nous recommandons ce parcours facile et champètre
