Map with all coordinates: The Jubiläumsweg Bodenseekreis is a 111-kilometer hiking trail that was set up in 1998 for the 25th anniversary of the Bodenseekreis .
General
The path leads through the hinterland of Lake Constance . The choice of the route through thirteen towns and municipalities in the Lake Constance district was deliberately “away from Lake Constance” and the main stream of tourists into the attractive hinterland: Here too, many natural and cultural beauties, some of which are still unknown, can be discovered.
Waymarks
The Jubiläumsweg is signposted along its entire length. After almost uniform signage for the entire Lake Constance region in recent years, the Jubiläumsweg can now also be hiked against the main direction described below.
At the start of each stage, the hiker will find a large board with information on the route, the stage length and the average walking time. Both the new and various old signposts can be found along the way.

Stages
The hiking trail is divided into a total of six stages, each of which hikers need around four to six hours to walk. The kilometers indicated in brackets refer to the starting point of the described stage.
First stage: Kressbronn train station - Neukirch, around 18 km
From Lake Constance through the hilly landscape of the Allgäu region.
The first stage leads from the Kressbronn train station to the eastern edge of the Lake Constance district.

The nature reserve Chess Ried right are leaving and Nitzenweiler ( ) it goes on to Kressbronner district Schleinsee (4,5 km). The baroque Assumption Chapel, built in 1737, can be visited here. The vantage point above Schleinsee ( ) is considered by many hikers and cyclists in spring to be the most beautiful point on the entire Jubilee Trail: the view over Schleinsee, countless flowering fruit trees and Lake Constance over to the 2,502 meter high Säntis in Appenzellerland . Over many roots, through Busenhaus ( ) am Degersee , Oberwolfertsweiler and Hiltensweiler - here the church of the Catholic parish of St. Dionysius - you get to the Langnauer Waldparkplatz ( ) - branch to the Langnauer Waldlehrpfad (additional hiking time about one hour) - into the valley of the Argen , After the Rhine and Bregenzer Ache, the third largest Lake Constance tributary (9 km). In Heggelbach , the hiker crosses the Argen on a hanging walkway ( ) in the direction of Steinenbach . After a steep ascent towards Wittenberg , through the Kreuzweiher-Langensee nature reserve (swimming on the opposite bank: beach with sunbathing area, free of charge) and Unterlangensee ( ), you reach the stage destination Neukirch . A prominent point at the first stage destination in the center of the village ( ) is the church “St. Maria Rosary Queen ".
Second stage: Neukirch - Meckenbeuren station, around 17 km
Westward through the hills into the Schussen basin
For the second stage, you leave Neukirch through a wooded hilly landscape towards Oberrussenried. Past the wooden pond ( / 1.5 km) and the Jägerweiher nature reserve with bathing zone ( / 2.5 km) the Jubiläumsweg leads to Krumbach ( / 5.5 km). Here you should take the time to visit the baroque parish church “St. Georg ”: Pastor Josef Bosch commissioned Andreas Brugger's workshop in 1771 to design the pictures of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and the Way of the Cross . Via Matzenhaus, Mehrenberg and Hergottsweiler ( ) the hiker arrives at the chapel "Maria Königin des Friedens", built in 1954, above Brünnensweiler ( / 12 km).

The entire area in and around Tettnang is determined by the hop plants that grow up to eight meters high. In Tettnang, around 1,600 hectares of cultivation area, between 40,000 and 50,000 quintals of hops are harvested annually for the production of top beers all over the world. The landmark of the Tettnang hop cultivation, the hop castle of the Hofgut Kaltenberg, to the right of the Jubiläumsweg, on the threshold of the Schussental, served as a hop drying building for over a century until 1977.
