Between the Danube and Lake Constance, you can experience the gentle transition of landscapes on a bike particularly well: from the Upper Swabian moorland and reedlands to the lovely shore region of Lake Constance, from the ice-age drumlins in the Württemberg Allgäu to the impressive Alpine panorama - you will always find yourself in the midst of a magnificent, unspoilt natural landscape!
One of the first long-distance cycle routes in Germany leads along the Upper Swabian Baroque Route through the hilly landscape of Upper Swabia to the northern shore of Lake Constance. Under the direction of powerful abbots, once wealthy monasteries here left behind a rich treasure trove of baroque treasures. They recruited artists and craftsmen from all over Europe, who left behind a magnificent baroque ensemble.
As you pass through tiny villages, you will discover richly decorated churches and a diverse monastery landscape with architecture worth seeing still exists today. The baroque attitude to life is best experienced in cosy inns, whose tree-lined beer gardens and down-to-earth country cuisine always tempt you to take a break.
