Close to the Alps and sun-drenched, Lake Constance is a wonderful recreation area. The southern shore of Lake Constance, where Switzerland and the Austrian Vorarlberg meet, is a hiking region par excellence. The Rother hiking guide "Bodensee Süd" presents 50 varied tours. Easy to moderately difficult hikes, as well as some more demanding mountain tours, invite you to explore this magnificent region.
The hiker can expect a landscape that is both scenically and culturally diverse. The expansive Thurgau hilly landscape, once shaped by the Rhine Glacier, and the wine country between Winterthur and Schaffhausen with the world-famous Rhine Falls are now cultural landscapes with orchards, vineyards, and half-timbered houses in pretty villages. They are nestled in pristine nature, with forests, lakes, and hidden ponds. The tours lead high up to mountains, such as the Hoher Kasten in the Appenzell region and the Hoher Freschen in the Bregenz Forest. From their summits, you can overlook the entire Lake Constance.
The 50 hikes are predominantly easy to moderately difficult and are therefore also ideal for families with children. All tours can be reached by public transport. Reliable route descriptions, detailed hiking maps with the route marked, and informative elevation profiles make the tours easy to follow. In addition, GPS data is available for download. With many tips on places to stop for refreshments and sights to see, your hiking tour will be perfect.
