SeeGang by Lake Constance

On the theme of water, the SeeGang is entirely in its element. The 53-kilometre-long Premium hiking trail connects the cities of Constance and Überlingen. Depending on walkers’ tastes and condition, the route can be shortened by taking a boat, bus or train. Measured by the number of points awarded by the German Hiking Institute, the SeeGang is the most attractive Premium hiking trail in Baden-Württemberg. More information »
 

Lake Constance LandGänge

The Gehrgenberg-Lake Constance holiday area is situated to the north of Lake Constance and boasts unspoilt nature not far from the lake shore. The award-winning circular routes follow forest trails and country lanes and always lead to the so-called "LandLiegen" and "Landbänke", which offer fascinating views over Lake Constance.
