Radweg-Reisen

A Lake Constance Cycle Tour Operator

Radweg-Reisen organizes its own cycling holidays: it puts together the route, the hand-picked hotels and the luggage transfer, and sells them as packages from its base in Konstanz on Lake Constance. The About page says it was "Founded in 2001 as Bodensee-Radweg Service" and "quickly developed into one of the largest cycle tour operators in Germany," with "a team of almost 50 employees" at the Konstanz head office. The homepage headline is "At Home on Lake Constance. On the Road for You. For Over 25 Years," and it sums up the product: "Our cycling holidays are pure relaxation: hand-picked hotels & luggage transfer across the most scenic regions of Germany and Europe." Prices are in euros.

The destination menu covers Germany in depth (the Baltic Sea, Bavaria, the Danube, Lake Constance, the Main, Moselle, Neckar, North Sea and Rhine, plus regional sections for East, North, South and West Germany) and, across Europe, Austria, the Baltic States, BeNeLux, the British Isles, Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Scandinavia, Spain and Switzerland.

The Tour Range

The catalog runs along named long-distance routes, including the Altmühl, Baltic Sea, Danube, Elbe, Lake Constance, Main, Moselle, Neckar, North Sea and Rhine cycle routes, with tours moving from hotel to hotel while the luggage goes ahead. Alongside these, the menu lists Bike & Boat tours, Centre Tours, Cycling & Swimming, Family Tours and Athletic Tours, plus Insider, Autumn & Winter and Bestseller collections. The homepage says Bike & Boat holidays for 2027 in Croatia, on the Danube and in Holland are open and that cabins are limited.

Centre tours are the most fully documented. The page describes them as "A different route every day, the same place every evening," based at one hotel with day rides out. It lists, among others, a Bike Tour along the North Sea Coast from Husum (6 days, 45 km a day, from 599 €) with a ferry to Hallig Hooge and a train to Sylt included; a Centre based tour Weimar (4 days, from 429 €); Cycle and Sail at Lake Constance from Kressbronn (5 days, from 499 €, with a sailing trip and dinner included); Cycling Tour at Lake Lucerne (7 days, from 1.109 €); Bike tours around Salzburg from Bad Goisern (7 days, from 1.229 €); Centre based tour Umbria (7 days, from 899 €); Cycling holiday in Croatia from Poreč (8 days, from 889 €); Cycle Tours in Flanders around Bruges (5 days, from 429 €); and Cycle Tours around Stockholm (6 days, from 829 €).

Other centre tours stay closer to home, including Dresden (7 days, from 739 €), the Mecklenburg Lake District from Waren (6 days, from 639 €), the Lüneburg Heath (6 days, from 569 €), Lake Chiemsee (7 days, from 799 €) and a Bike tour for families from Constance (6 days, from 549 €), while southern options include Lake Maggiore from Losone near Ascona (6 days, from 1.029 €), Lake Garda (7 days, from 1.099 €) and the Veneto from Abano Terme (7 days, from 839 €).

The homepage also flags what is new and seasonal. It says 2026 brings new tours along the coasts of Brittany, around Corsica, through Catalonia and along the French Atlantic coast, that autumn tours at Lake Constance, on the Moselle and in southern Europe are "among the insider tips among our guests," and that the 2027 program is open with an early bird discount. Its regional blurbs point to Denmark's islands, Austria beyond the Passau to Vienna Danube classic (the Salzkammergut, Carinthia and the Drava), Italy from South Tyrol to Sicily, and Switzerland's well-signed cycle paths from Lake Constance over the Alps to Lago Maggiore.

How the Tours Work

Every tour is graded on a five-point scale for daily route length and for altitude profile, shown as dots on each listing. The centre-tour FAQ says many tours rate 1 to 2 on both, "which corresponds to 30 to 45 kilometres per day on predominantly flat terrain," and calls those "expressly suited to occasional cyclists"; day rides typically run 30 to 60 kilometres. The company's own description of the format is freedom rather than a guided group: "No fixed itinerary, no group pressure, no feeling of falling behind," with the option to shorten a day or take a rest day. The site does not describe a guide riding with guests, and some tours include guided visits instead, such as a guided tour of Weissenstein Castle on the Bamberg trip.

Bikes can be hired. The FAQ says "Hire bikes are available on all our centre tours" including e-bikes and, at many locations, tag-alongs and junior bikes for children, with the types confirmed at booking. A Rental Bikes page and a Family Tours section sit in the menu. The About page adds that staff ride routes every year, "individually or together," to check old routes and explore new ones.

Booking and Company Details

Each listing has a "Book your trip now" button, and the site gives a phone number, +49 7531 81 99 30, and an email address. The menu links Discounts, Questions & Answers and Travel Reports from guests, and the homepage recommends booking Bike & Boat trips early for an early bird discount.

The About This Website page gives the legal details: registration at the Freiburg register court under HRB 381878, VAT ID DE 813 288 982, participation in a voluntary consumer arbitration procedure, and a note that the company brokers travel insurance as a permit-free annex broker under German trade law.

What the Site Leaves Open and Who It Suits

The tour and About pages do not set out deposits, the cancellation schedule or what each package includes beyond the highlights listed on each tour card, such as a ferry, a sailing trip or beer vouchers. They also do not say how many guests share a departure, since the tours are not presented as group trips.

Radweg-Reisen suits cyclists who want to ride at their own pace with the hotels and luggage handled, especially along Germany's river routes or around Lake Constance, and families or occasional cyclists looking for flat, short stages. The published prices and gradings make comparison easy. It suits less well anyone who wants a guide riding alongside every day or a trip well outside Europe.
