Turn-by-turn directions
We cycle straight ahead on the main road (Priminstraße) and then turn right into Seestraße. Already from a distance we recognize the small St. George's Church, into which we should take a look. The Seestraße makes a left turn in its further course and leads us very close to the shore. The many flower-laden colourful gardens of the very well-kept houses are striking - and one almost feels the impression of a beautifully laid out film set. After a while we turn left into Hermannus-Contractus-Straße and then diagonally left into Schulstraße. At the next crossroads, turn left onto Wittigowostraße, turn right into Spitzgasse, take the broad Abt-Berno-Straße for a short distance and immediately turn right into Riedstraße. On Niederzeller Straße in an easterly direction we reach one of the tips of the island. Here we can take a short break and enjoy the view of the lake.
Then we cycle back on Niederzeller Straße and continue straight ahead, ignoring all the roads for a very long time until we can follow a sign to the right towards the campsite (Niederzeller Straße is called "Zum Sandseele" there by the way). Here we should not miss to go for a swim in Lake Constance. Afterwards we drive back on the same way and come back to the road "Zum Sandseele". We turn right and follow the road. After a gentle left turn, the street name changes to "Untere Rheinstraße". At the large crossroads turn right into "Obere Rheinstraße", on which we drive to the dam.
We cycle back to the mainland and continue straight ahead on Kindlebildstraße, then turn right into Fürstenbergstraße, which in its course becomes Wollmatinger Straße. After a long right turn we pass Zähringer Platz and finally reach Theodor-Heuss-Straße, which then meets Mainaustraße and brings us back to our starting point, the Rhine bridge.
