That is 21 percent of the 43 routes we map near Konstanz. They are shorter than the local average, 9.8 km against 22.6 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 255 m (837 ft) against 414 m (1,358 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.
