Let's begin our bicycle journey with places that will provide an unforgettable experience for mountain lovers. The first stop is the Mountainbike Trail Dachsbau in Constance. This bike park, with a 4.6-star rating, offers well-maintained trails of varying levels of difficulty. According to user reviews, the paths are feasible even for less experienced cyclists, but at the same time provide plenty of fun for the advanced. Right next door is Homtrails Konstanz, which boasts the title of the longest trail in the area. It's ideal for those who enjoy longer rides and want to test their endurance.

Another spot on the map is Bikepark Schienerberg, located in Öhningen. With a rating of 4.6 stars, this park impresses not only with its superbly groomed trails, but especially with its breathtaking views. Here you will find trails of varying degrees of difficulty - from blue, ideal for families with children, to black, designed for the most advanced. It is worth mentioning the price of a day ticket, which is 5 euros (as of 2023) - a cost that, according to visitors, is fully justified by the quality of the attractions offered.

For those looking for a bigger challenge, we recommend the Gehro-Trail in Markdorf. This trail, rated 4.7 stars, was recently legalized and is extremely popular with cyclists. The trail offers a lot of fun for both beginners and advanced riders, although some sections can be quite challenging. It is worth noting the commitment of volunteers who take care of the path's condition, which is appreciated by users.

When comparing the four sites, it is worth noting their diversity. Mountainbike Trail Dachsbau and Homtrails Konstanz are ideal for those who want to get started in mountain biking or prefer shorter but intense trails. Bikepark Schienerberg offers the most options for families, thanks to its varied trails and scenic views. Gehro-Trail, on the other hand, is for those looking for more challenging and longer trails. Each of these places has its own unique character, but they all have one thing in common - a passion for cycling and the beauty of the surrounding nature.

After the excitement of mountain riding, it's time to discover the natural treasures of the Lake Constance region. The first place to visit is Dingelsdorfer Ried in Constance. This park, rated 4.6 stars, is a true oasis of tranquility, ideal for a longer walk or a relaxing bike ride. An interesting feature is the presence of Scottish mountain cattle, which help keep the grass low. The park offers wheelchair-accessible paths, making it accessible to a wide range of visitors.

Another spot on the map is Eriskircher Ried, also rated 4.6 stars. This place is especially recommended for birders and nature photography enthusiasts. The park is famous for its thousands of wild irises, which attract crowds of tourists. It is an ideal place for quiet relaxation and rest surrounded by nature. It is worth noting that there are camping spots in the park, which can be an interesting option for those planning a longer stay in the region.

The third natural treasure is Bodenseeufer (Bodman-Ludwigshafen), rated at an impressive 4.7 stars. This place impresses not only with its beautiful lake views, but also with historical attractions such as the ruins of Alt-Bodman Castle. From a height of 627 meters, there is a spectacular panoramic view of the area. Although the view of the Alps can sometimes be obscured by fog, this does not detract from the charm of the place.

Last, but no less fascinating, is the Aachtobel, also with a 4.7-star rating. This picturesque valley with the Aach River offers well-marked and protected paths, leading through both sunny and shady areas. Of note is the Maria im Stein Chapel, which adds a mystical touch to the place. While the Aachtobel is a paradise for hiking, cycling can be difficult here due to the characteristics of the terrain.

Comparing the four locations, each offers a unique natural experience. Dingelsdorfer Ried and Eriskircher Ried are ideal for those seeking peace and quiet and contact with nature, and are especially recommended for birdwatchers and photography enthusiasts. Bodenseeufer is notable for its combination of natural and historical qualities, additionally offering spectacular views. Aachtobel, on the other hand, is for those who prefer active recreation in the form of hiking.

It is worth noting that all of these places are highly rated by visitors (from 4.6 to 4.7 stars), a testament to their attractiveness and good preparation for tourists. Each offers slightly different attractions - from tranquil ponds and meadows to scenic valleys and viewpoints - so you can tailor your choice to your own preferences and physical abilities.
