Lake Constance is actually the largest lake in Germany and Austria. Its shores border Germany, Austria and Switzerland in the border triangle, which is why it does not fit into the Iron Lake country challenges. Reason enough to include it as the first lake in our Iron Lake MICRO Challenge.
Für eine Umrundung des Bodensees musst Du 273 Kilometer bewältigen und diese Herausforderung nehmen tausende Menschen jährlich an. Aber diese Leute machen das mit dem Fahrrad, und Du wirst die Umrundung . .

General PLEASE NOTE!
- Please note that the Road Traffic Act applies in public traffic areas and along roads and cycle paths. So move considerately.

Information around Lake Constance
Bordering the countries of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, this giant has a length of 63 kilometers and is fed by the Rhine. It is said that over 800,000 people cycle around Lake Constance, which is why there is even a dedicated website to the Lake Constance bike path on which you can get interesting information about the Lake Constance circumnavigation. But you will circumnavigate Lake Constance on foot! That is a completely different house number!

Ihr schreibt, eine Bodenseeumrundung umfasst 273km (ich meine, ich habe 250 in meinem Komoot-Plan fürs Rad stehen, aber am Ende nicht so wichtig) und in eurer Ehrentafel steht ein Eintrag, der das ganze in 6:27h geschafft haben will? Das schaffe ich nicht mit dem Rad, was natürlich kein Maß ist, und eine durchschnittliche Geschwindigkeit von 41km/h!!! das ist kein Maß, sondern Fakt und einfach lächerlich. Wäre schon cool, wenn ihr prüfen würdet, was ihr hier schreibt.
Grundsätzlich finde ich die Challange interessant, aber mich mit möchtegern-übermenschen will ich mich nicht messen. Eine Zeit von 4Tagen fände ich realistischer. Gern auch einer weniger. Aber zwei 140km Märsche am Stück sind schon Hammer.
Hallo Bolle,
Teilnehmer der ILC Bodensee haben zehn Tage (also 27km/Tag) für die Challenge Zeit (siehe Beschreibung). Die Zeit in der Ehrentafel stimmt leider noch nicht, da wir derzeit noch ein Softwareproblem haben. Die Zeit ist aber auch nicht entscheidend. Es geht darum, dass man schöne Augenblicke genießt und wertvolle Momente hat.
Es geht absolut nicht um Rekorde 🙂

Servus Uwe, ich hab 2024 die OÖ Challenge abgeschlossen und werde 2025 die Österreich Challenge beenden.
Aber um ehrlich zu sein gibe ich Bolle schon recht. Als Sportler will man sich einfach vergleichen/messen. Auch wenn es nicht um Rekorde geht tut es weh wenn falsche Werte in den Tabellen stehen.
Noch dazu wenn man bedenkt, wie aufwendig es ist die Iron Lake Challenges zu absolvieren (Urlaube, Unterkünfte, tausende Kilometer Autofahren, ….).
Klar, die Zeiten müssen passen, sonst muss man sie gar nicht erst erfassen. Da gebe ich Dir vollkommen Recht. Wir wollen das natürlich auch und arbeiten an dem Tool. Ich hoffe, dass wir den Fehler bald komplett beseitigt haben.
V.G.
Uwe
Hallo! Müssen die 10 Tage am Stück absolviert werden oder hat man Zeit für Pausentage?
Hallo Anke,
nein, die Umrundung muss nicht am Stück passieren. Du kannst dazwischen selbstverständlich Pausentage einlegen. Das machen fast alle so 🙂
