On my second "Around Germany" cycling tour (this time going left-hand), I cycled along the Swiss side of Lake Constance. Even though the bike paths were consistently beautiful, most of the route was boring, as the railway line also runs between the bike path and Lake Constance. The German side of the Lake Constance cycle path is much more varied and beautiful.

I think it's a shame that everyone is only focusing on the beautiful bathhouse. The lakeside promenade has so much more to offer. Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph it, otherwise I would have liked to post a few pictures. Now, take this as an incentive and take some nice pictures of the promenade.
