01/ Overview
The route
The route from Kreuzlingen along the shores of the Bodensee to Romanshorn gives you a true holiday feeling. The entire stretch affords imposing views of and around the international fresh-water lake.
The approximately 22-kilometre hike begins at Kreuzlingen railway station. Within the first kilometre, the almost level trail reaches its highest point at around 420 metres. It then leads to Kreuzlingen harbour and through Seeburgpark. Seeburgturm stands directly on the route and offers views across Lake Constance.
Between Bottighofen and Güttingen, stretches along the shore alternate with open meadows and residential areas. The broad hiking trail remains mostly flat, with the lake repeatedly appearing between houses and fields along the way. This creates a peaceful alternation between rural sections and small harbour villages, without any lengthy ascents.
Towards the end, the route leads via Riedern and Holzenstein back to the water. At Inselihafen, the final section through Romanshorn begins, passing the Alte Kirche and the Schloss. After a little over five hours, the hike ends near Romanshorn railway station.
