You feel like a king here, walking right along the shore. Very nice paths, mostly bike-free. It's better that way here, as it can get narrower sometimes.

Lake Constance has a special charm even in the fog.
The route is about one km longer because I only started Komoot at the Manzell outdoor area.
Between Manzell and FN Schlosskirche there is a beautiful beach path along Lake Constance.
