Beautiful tour through the hinterland of Lake Constance. It is a beautiful hilly landscape. Lots of wine, apples and pears, and grain are also grown here. Every farmer sells his delicious fruit brandy here. The tour was easy to manage in terms of altitude. When it went up, it was also nice to go back down again.
