The Lake Constance cycle path takes you to Markelfingen. Here you will find the fisherman Uli Judan at the Narrenbrunnen fountain.

The path leads you along the Markelfinger Winkel to Radolfzell. Via the concert sail, along the lake, the town garden opens up, where Bishop Ratoldus tells you about his connection to Reichenau.

The tour continues along the Lake Constance cycle path via Moos to the suburb of Iznang, where a farmer's wife from 1530 welcomes you.

For the next historical point, you cycle approx. 6 km along the lake, past Gundelholzen and Horn to Gaienhofen. Once you arrive at the landing stage, you will find the Prior Johann Ego.
