You start this cycling route in Bludenz, beautiful Alps-town with typical arboured walk streets. You can start your tour also in Klosterle or Parten. From Bludenz, you drive along Ill-river, lakes and meadow forests, up to the town of Feldkirch. Country contrast berween Walgau-plain and Alps-character of Ratikon Mountain Range is very attractive. Feldkirch has beautiful Middle Age city centre. After Feldkirch, in northern direction, the Rhine-Valley is opening. The route heads, along Rhine-river banks, to south coast of Boden Lake. In Rhine-Valley, there are running connections to nest of cycling routes in Switzerland or Liechtenstein. Finally, you drive to Bregenz, capital of Vorarlberg. In this town, there is regularly taken place - in July and August - the biggest Festival of the world on lake scene. The town of Bregenz is starting point to international cycling route round Boden Lake. The route leads from Bregenz, via Lochau up to German border. You drive, across towns of Lindau and Friedrichshafen, to to Meersburg. Who takes consistent route around the whole Boden Lake, including Uberlinger and Untersee Lakes too long, he could use a ship-transport up to the town of Konstanz, and to cross Swiss border at Kreuzlingen. At south part of the lake, you can continue, via Altnau and Rohrschah, to Rheineck, where you reach Austrian territory again International route around Boden Lake is much more attractive when some sections would be effected by ship. Anyway, whoule line could be undergone in partial sections only, also in opposite direction.
