Untersee, Seerhein, Gnadensee

From the Gaienhofen landing stage, take the ship of the Untersee and Rhine Shipping Company to cross to Steckborn, timetable at www.urh.ch. From May to September, the Höri ferry also runs between Gaienhofen and Steckborn, timetable at www.schifffahrtlang.de

At the end of the town of Steckborn, the well-marked Lake Constance cycle path (direction Kreuzlingen) begins, which you do not leave until the German-Swiss border. Immediately after crossing the border in Konstanz, turn left toward the Rhine bank and follow it under the motorway bridge to the pedestrian bridge, on which you cross the Seerhein. After the bridge, turn left along the promenade to the motorway bridge on the cycle path beside the B33. At the junction to Konstanz-Wollmatingen, turn right and follow the railway line. From here, the cycle path runs next to the railway line to the Kindlebild junction, where you turn toward Reichenau. After the dam, you reach Oberzell and, if you want, the Hochwart (437 m), a great viewpoint in all directions. Depending on the time you have, you can explore the island before returning by ship from Mittelzell to Gaienhofen, timetable at www.urh.ch.

Accessible by ship, see www.urh.ch. Although the Höri bus 7368 stops in Gaienhofen, it does not carry bicycles.
