The starting point is the Schloss Montfort underground car park in Langenargen, where you can also park your car. Alternatively, you can also travel to Langenargen by train. The castle itself is a marvel and offers a first panoramic view of Lake Constance. You follow the Lake Constance Cycle Path towards Schwedi and cross the Schussen River. From May to June, a very special natural spectacle awaits you in the Eriskircher Ried. Thousands of Siberian irises bathe the meadows in a deep blue, accompanied by yellow water irises and rare orchids.

The Wirtshaus im Ried invites you to take a relaxing break. Here you can enjoy delicious food and cool drinks in a friendly atmosphere. Ideal for recharging your batteries before a leisurely cycle back to Langenargen.

The route is mostly paved or finely graveled, flat, and easy to manage.

Overall, the route offers a great outdoor experience in a short distance. It's a great outing for the whole family.

Montfort Castle

Highlight • Castle

„The magnificent ruin of Montfort, situated on a headland – the most beautiful I have ever seen.“ This is how Annette von Droste-Hülshoff describes the Montfort ruin in one of her letters, which was, however, demolished in 1861 to make way for a „fairytale castle“.

Built in 1866 in the Moorish style, Montfort Castle is the magnificent landmark of Langenargen. Situated on a small peninsula in the lake, it is today a place for dreaming, celebrating, dining, and enjoying.

Iris Bloom in Eriskircher Ried

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The iris blossom in May and June is something very special at Lake Constance. Only in this wetland near Eriskirch can you marvel at the splendor of the flowers. With a bit of luck you can also come across the rare, flesh-colored orchids. This is a rare native orchid.
