Cycling and sailing on Lake Constance

Kressbronn is beautifully located between orchards and vineyards, right on the northern shores of Lake Constance. The vibrant towns of Friedrichshafen, Bregenz, and Constance are all within easy reach. Hotel Schattmaier, your accommodation for this cycling and sailing tour, is ideally situated on the shores of the lake’s largest marina and also boasts its own sailing school.

Day 2: Spa, swimming and sailing

Today's itinerary of the Cycle and Sail vacation at Lake Constance is open.  Pamper yourself at the hotel – it offers a whirlpool, steam bath, and several saunas, providing the perfect setting to unwind. Alternatively, you may wish to explore the surrounding area at your own pace, either by bike or by taking a scenic hike along the farm trail that winds through the beautiful countryside around Kressbronn. In the evening, an experienced skipper will accompany you on a two-hour sailing excursion across Lake Constance, where you can savour a delectable three-course meal while enjoying the tranquil waters and stunning views.

Day 3: Excursion to Bregenz, approx. 50 km

Nestled on the eastern shore of Lake Constance and at the foot of the Pfänder mountain, the town of Bregenz is a cultural hub with a rich heritage. It even served as a stunning backdrop in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. Interestingly, a mummified shark hangs above the town's historic gate, adding a quirky touch to the town's character. For those visiting on a clear day, a ride on the Pfänderbahn cable car is highly recommended, offering breathtaking panoramic views of over 240 Alpine peaks and the sparkling waters of Lake Constance.
