Stein am Rhein is an absolute stunner!

It is purported to be the prettiest and most well preserved mediaeval town in Switzerland and we certainly can't argue with that. The pictures speak for themselves.

Hotel Chlosterhof on the lake is a delight and we feel very spoilt, particularly by being able to have a bath after a day's cycling.
The next day we rode 28km from Stein (in Switzerland) through Germany and finished in Switzerland again at the Rhine falls - quite impressive, especially when viewed from a boat

We were to have caught a boat all the way back to Stein, but the Rhine water levels are too low so we went part way by boat and then hopped on a train rather than ride an extra 10km. We are saving our cycling legs.

Day 3 of cycling was 30 km back to Konstanz on the other side of the lake, with time out in a Konditorei and then just sitting admiring the view. The paths we have taken have varied - bike paths, lanes, gravel tracks and the odd quiet road and the scenery has been diverse too - farmland (cows and veggies) lake side, pretty villages, the odd boring bit.
