Tour
Arrive early so that you can still visit the historic old town of Constance, it's worth it! Admire all the sights on a leisurely stroll through town. The council that fundamentally reorganized the Catholic Church met here from 1414-1418 in the cathedral and the council building. The living Middle Ages and a lot of background information about Lake Constance can be found in the famous Rosgarten Museum, whose pretty cafeteria in the inner courtyard invites you to take a break.
After breakfast you and your bike will be taken to Splügen in the mountains by minibus. From here you cycle comfortably along the Hinterrhein through the Graubünden region. On the way you can look forward to impressive gorges such as the Roflaschlucht and the Viamala until you finally cycle into Bonaduz.
Well strengthened, today you have to climb 700 meters in altitude on the bike. The train first goes to Disentis. The first half of the bike stage will be a bit bumpy, on unpaved roads. So you cycle along the Vorderrhein through the alpine valley. After a longer ascent behind Ilanz, you can look forward to the canyon-like gorge landscape of the Ruinaulta, which will inspire you. Overnight in Bonaduz.
Continue cycling in a good mood along the Alpine Rhine between majestic mountain peaks to the Principality of Liechtenstein. In the middle of the heart of Europe lies the small state with its capital Vaduz, which is only about 25 km long and has 36,000 inhabitants. Here you are immediately greeted by Vaduz Castle, which towers over the city. Visit the world-famous stamp collection, write postcards and let the evening end comfortably.
1 day - 3 countries. After a short time you have already left Liechtenstein behind and are already cycling over the border to the Austrian town of Feldkirch. Let yourself be enchanted by the beautiful old town, the cobblestones, narrow streets, romantic arbors and breathtakingly beautiful house facades. It continues back to Switzerland and comfortably downhill to Arbon on Lake Constance.
Today you cycle on the Lake Constance cycle path along the orchards and through idyllic small half-timbered villages back to Constance. A trip to the flower island Mainau with the palm house, jungle sequoia trees and thousands of flowers, whose splendor delights all visitors, is worthwhile.
After breakfast today it's time to say goodbye. If you want, you can extend your bike tour on the Rhine or at the Lake Constance (Bodensee).
