Visit the “flower island” of Mainau! Afterwards you have a short cycle in the direction of Allensbach to Radolfzell.
A lot of places of interest on your 6th day: monasteries, baroque churches and old castles. Overnight stay in Uhldingen / Meersburg.
Meersburg, the well known wine growing area, awaits you! You can visit the old castle, which is the oldest inhabited castle in Germany. Further attractions include the new castle with its amazing staircase and the market place which is surrounded by picturesque wooden-framed houses. Accompanied by a beautiful panoramic view of the Alps, you will cycle to Friedrichshafen where you can visit the Zeppelin museum.
Enjoy the large fruit orchards before you reach the Bavarian metropolis Lindau. Special about Lindau is the protected old town on an island. After a few kilometres you reach Austria and cycle on the lake bank into the Festival Town of Bregenz with the unique lake-stage.
Near Fußach you reach the Alpine Rhine which you follow to Altstätten.
