How to arrive to Sipplingen and Überlingen at Lake Constance
Its best to arrive by public transportation, as this is not a circular hiking route. I can best recommend the regional trains passing by hourly from Radolfszell to Friedrichshafen and return. This train stops at both Sipplingen and Überlingen and Überlingen Therme, giving you maximum freedom and an easy shedule to keep in mind. For sure you can also park nearby Radolfszell train station, and take a train back after your hike form Überlingen to reach your car or camper again.
