On the way home. 2 days at Lake Constance.

We had a lovely bike ride, first by boat and then back to the campsite. It's in Switzerland, but we also cycled in Germany and Austria!

May 17, 2026,Drei Länder Tour von Rorschach nach Wasserburg

According to the weather forecast, no rain is expected today and the predicted 13°C should also feel 4°C warmer. So we decide to start the three-country tour today.
Shortly before 10 a.m., we set off by car towards Wasserburg. The previously researched parking lot 3 is almost empty when we arrive. We saddle up and set off towards the ship …

One of the most beautiful bike tours on Lake Constance. Depending on the starting point, I would recommend starting in Lindau and taking the ferry to Rorschach first. Best with the ferry at 9 o'clock. So you have the whole day for the tour. In addition, the crossing from D to CH is cheaper than in the other direction.

Today we went along the Lake Constance cycle path to Rorschach. Due to the weather, it really wasn't full.
Even though we have ridden this path quite often, I am always impressed by the condition and the development of the path!

We parked in the Wäsen parking lot in Lindau (very cheap parking fees), from there we cycled to the harbor on the island of Lindau. We continued by ship to Rorschasch in Switzerland. From here we continued cycling in the direction of Austria, into the Rhine delta and back to Lindau. Unfortunately relatively little along Lake Constance.
