The old Salt Road takes you directly to the Großer Alpsee near Immenstadt in about two hours. The trails are mostly well-maintained, with moderate inclines. At the lake, you can enjoy a dip in the cool water, mini-golf, boat rentals, and places to stop for a bite to eat. The return trip follows the northern route, for a total of about 36 kilometers. It’s one of the most popular tours in the region—and for good reason.

 

Alpsee_Abendstimmung

One of the most beautiful routes in the region: the first stage of the famous long-distance bike path, ridden in reverse. From Oberstaufen via Scheidegg, the route is mostly downhill toward Lake Constance, offering stunning views of the lake. With only 170 meters of elevation gain, it’s easily manageable even without an e-bike. Practical: Return trip by train to Oberstaufen. Insider tip: Take a break in Lochau with a view of Lake Constance.

 

Schaukel_am_Bodensee

For ambitious e-bikers and touring cyclists: This 90-kilometer loop offers panoramic views of the Bregenzerwald, the Swiss Alps, and the Nagelfluh Range. The route winds through bogs, wet meadows, and along quiet backroads. With an e-bike, it’s manageable even for casual cyclists; without one, it’s a serious day-long tour. Just under 1,000 meters of elevation gain.
