• CLIMATE
  The climate in the Lake Constance region is very mild with warm summers and moderate winters and can therefore almost be described as Mediterranean and owes it fame in fruit and wine growing to the warm and sunny climate. In spring, millions of fruit trees and spring flowers bloom covering the meadows in the rural area. The summer and autumn are particularly attractive due to the lush cherry and apple trees and the full grapevines. From April to October, the weather is ideal for cycling and discovering the beauties of this region. Please do check the local conditions before your arrival.
  
   
• REMARKS
  This unique itinerary utilizes cycling routes that explore the still, quiet, and picturesque hinterland along the German alps. The routes are planned with meticulous precision to avoid the tourist hotspots and the traffic that threatens to dispel the magic of the landscape. 
  
  Swimming Opportunities: If you cycle around the Bavarian Lakes in the summer months, there are often opportunities to swim. Don't forget to pack bathing suits and towels.
  
  Clothing: You are traveling to southern Germany, but of course you must not do without a windbreaker/rain jacket to protect you from rain and cold. We recommend sturdy shoes and a warm sweater for this trip.
