Etappe 2  Diessenhofen - Überlingen

5 July 2011


The walk through the park, past the colored cows, to the Banquet Hall of the castle on the hill gave us quite an appetite for the breakfast buffet. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside on the terrace with a view down on the Rhein flowing from the Bodensee to Schaffhausern.

Leaving the Unterhof Hotel, we cycled back to Konstanz, this time on the Swiss side of the lake and from there, just after the Mainau island, we caught the ferry boat accross to Überlingen. This year we planned the route up the hills to the St. Leonard Park Hotel a little better but even so, the last kilometer was a stiff climb.

Tired and weary as we were, the view from the terrace Restaurant made for a pleasant evening with first-class food and wine and went a long way towards making up for the hefty climb up to the hotel.
