Bicycle Excursion to Reichenau

Bicycle Excursion to Reichenau

The Radolfzell City Museum invites you to a bike tour to Reichenau Island on Friday, September 25, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. With a distance of 45 kilometers, this day-long tour is also suitable for non-motorized bicycles. The tour traces the early history of Radolfzell on the monastery island. The focus is on the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Niederzell, which Bishop Egino of Verona had built in 799. It is closely linked to the town’s founding: Bishop Ratold of Verona, the founder of Radolfzell, wanted to settle here. When he was denied permission to do so, he founded his “ratoldescella” on the northern shore of Lake Zell. In the afternoon, the program includes a visit to St. Mary and Mark’s Cathedral as well as the treasury with its precious reliquaries and medieval works of art. The excursion combines physical activity with fascinating insights into the shared history of Radolfzell and the UNESCO World Heritage Island of Reichenau. Participation costs 20.00 euros. Please register by email at museum@radolfzell.de. The meeting point is in front of the City Museum on Seetorplatz.
