Jubiläumsweg Bodenseekreis

The anniversary trail was established in 1998 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Lake Constance district. The aim was to create a route away from the well-known routes directly on the lake and to open up new perspectives that would make it possible to experience the diversity of the landscape in the Lake Constance district. Each stage starts and ends in a village with public transport connections and overnight accommodation. So you can decide for yourself where you want to continue hiking the next day or where you want to take a shortcut.

111 km from Kressbronn to Überlingen - of course there is also a direct route, but as the saying goes? The journey is the reward.

The stage locations:

Each municipality on the Jubilee Trail has its own charm. Discover the beauty of the villages on your own or visit the local tourist information offices for more tips.
