Family Cycling Holiday on Lake Constance

Your Lake Constance vacation with children begins in medieval Constance. After checking in at the hotel, grab your bike and take a detour to the Horn lido - perfect for a refreshing dip in the cool water or sunbathing with a view of the lake. Or would you prefer to get up high? From the tower of Constance Minster, after climbing around 200 steps, you have an excellent view over the city and the lake. If you would like to find out more about the history of Constance, a visit to the Rosgarten Museum is a good idea.

Today's excursion is all about colorful blossoms, palm trees, butterflies and exotic trees. Known as the Flower Island, the island of Mainau (not included) welcomes visitors with its extensive park and gardens. Be it the tulips in spring, the splendor of roses in summer or the dahlia show in autumn - there is something to marvel at every season. The butterfly house is an animal kingdom: 120 species of tropical butterflies and moths can be experienced up close.

Today you are heading to the other side of Lake Constance. From Constance-Staad, take the ferry to Meersburg. If you want to get a taste of the Middle Ages, you can visit Meersburg Castle, the oldest inhabited castle in Germany. Cycle along the Lake Constance cycle path to Friedrichshafen. The Zeppelin Museum there will impress you with its impressive collection on the history and technology of airship travel. After climbing the Moleturm tower at the entrance to Friedrichshafen harbour and enjoying the view, take the catamaran back to Constance.

On your bike tour for families from Constance, you will get to know the north-western part of Lake Constance today. First you cycle to Wallhausen. A canoe trip gives you the opportunity to experience the lake from a different perspective. The tour continues by boat to Überlingen. Treat yourself to an ice cream sundae or a coffee on the lakeside promenade before getting back on your bike towards Meersburg. On the way, you can stop off at the Birnau pilgrimage church or the pile dwellings in Unteruhldingen. From Meersburg, take the ferry back to Constance.

The cycling day begins with a trip to Reichenau, the largest island in Lake Constance. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island was already of great cultural importance in the early Middle Ages. At the heart of this development was the monastery, which was founded by St. Pirmin in 724. The tour continues with a boat trip to Gaienhofen on the Höri peninsula. Your next destination is Stein am Rhein. Stroll through the very well-preserved old town with its colorfully painted medieval buildings before cycling back to Constance along the High Rhine.

Your bike tour for families from Constance ends after breakfast. We are happy to extend your stay in Constance with an extra night.
