Day 37, Wasserburg – Hagnau, 29kms



We started the day late after breakfast at the hotel.   

Our plan was to catch the ferry to Konstanz, ride some more of Lake Constance then head towards the “Romantic Way” ride.
After arriving in Konstanz, along with far too many tourists (school holidays) we changed our plans.  Lake Constance is currently like the south coast between Christmas and New Year – wall to wall people. Konstanz looks to be very pretty as we have been told, but way too many people around for it to be enjoyable. The nearby campgrounds were full, so after a short wander around and lunch we boarded another ferry to take us to the other (less popular) side of the lake.
We arrived at Meersburg and rode another 10kms to Hagnau where the van park advertised it was full.  We spoke nicely to the manager who told us we could pitch the tents on the lawn of a permanent van which was currently unoccupied.  That’s the beauty of having two small tents.
We have also been warned by some locals that we should not be around the lake on Wednesday which is a public holiday for the Swiss national day.  Apparently the Swiss head here in droves!
Our plan now is that we will head north along the “Romantic Way” which vaguely runs from Fussen to Wurzburg.

  1. Hi folks, congratulations and well done for what has been a fascinating experience. We have followed with interest, although due to my own travel and busy life, I've had to play a bit of catch up on the blog. It sounds like you will have enough stories to fill a life time. We head off in just over a month, and you are getting close to where we will be starting. Anyway, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the tour. Love from us, Kelvin and Julie
