Constance cycling and ferry tour

---

19 May 2009

A long but great day doing a cycling and ferry tour around lake Constance in perfect weather.

We first cycled eastward along the lake to Friedrichsafen where we had local Bodansee fish for lunch. The Zeppelin airships were built in Friedrichsafen and we visited an excellent museum on the subject including a full scale mockup of a section of the Hindenburg.

The lake is on the border between Germany and Switzerland and our next step was to catch the ferry across to Romanshorn in Switzerland. We had excellent views of the Swiss mountains lit up by the late afternoon sun.

It was cycling again on an attractive path westwards to Konstanz and then the ferry across to Meersburg. It was two very tired cyclists who pushed their bikes back up through the town arriving at the van at 8.30 after a 30 mile ride.
