The bicycle crossing is on the western side (with a view of the Seerhein). The crossing, as well as the access and exit, is somewhat difficult (partly narrow and winding). Hikers and pedestrians walk east of the road (with a view of Lake Constance and the Konstanzer Trichter). By the way, Rhine kilometer 0 is located near the bridge.

The Untersee, with its German and Swiss sides, forms a very pleasant landscape for cycling. Small, pretty villages with well-preserved historical places and buildings. The location on the Untersee allows for very varied views at all times of the day and in all weather conditions.

There are free charging sockets at the Untertor. Very nice town center and a bike shop that offers tours and is happy to help.

The Untersee, with an area of around 62 km², is the smaller of the two lakes of Lake Constance. Of this, 47 km² belong to Germany (Baden-Württemberg), and the remaining 13 km² to the Swiss cantons of Thurgau and Schaffhausen. There are three interconnected lake sections: Gnadensee with its Markelfinger Winkel in the northwest, Zeller See in the west (all in Germany), and Rheinsee in the south (in Germany and Switzerland). Its main inflow is the Seerhein and its only outflow is the Hochrhein. Source: Wikipedia
