Cycle paths

The 268km-long Bodensee-Radweg (bodensee-radweg.com) is a network of cycle paths around the lake; bikes are allowed on most ferries and trains – allowing for adaptable itineraries if the weather turns or you get tired.

Friedrichshafen

Overlooking the lake’s widest point and with the longest promenade of any Bodensee town, FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, 107km south of Ulm, has the feel of a seaside resort, but as the lake’s only industrial town, the place leads a double life. It was thanks to its aviation industry that it was bombed to smithereens during World War II, but this industry also made it the setting for one of the world’s most intriguing aeronautical events: it was here that Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin manufactured and launched his cigar-shaped airships. On July 2, 1900, his first LZ1 drifted over the lake, and three decades later, Friedrichshafen became a hub for long-distance international travel.
