Lake Constance, Danube & Allgäu

On this bike tour you will experience the diverse landscapes in the south of Germany. You will start your journey at Lake Constance, take a trip to the famous Rhine Falls, cycle past the volcanoes of the Hegau region, follow the Danube valley with its impressive limestone rocks, cross the softly rolling hills of Upper Swabia, reach the lush green Allgäu until you’re back at Lake Constance where you can enjoy the scenery from aboard the catamaran. Medieval towns, baroque monasteries, spas and mud baths await your visit. We recommend a good level of physical fitness for this tour.
