morning
Start your fun-filled, action-packed getaway at the Wake Park in Romanshorn. Book a wake session online and get started. Show off your skills on the lift and enjoy the ride with a fantastic view of Lake Constance.
Lunch
After an active start to the day, you can refuel at Ristorante Porto in the Romanshorn harbor. Enjoy an Italian break and the view of the Romanshorn harbor.

After lunch, the journey continues to Arbon and the Buchhorn beach.
afternoon
Your PADL Trail adventure begins at the Buchhorn Beach in Arbon. This is where you’ll pick up your gear bag—it’s best to book your preferred time slot online in advance so everything is ready for you. Then it’s time to get out on the water and start solving the puzzles.

If you don’t have your own SUP or kayak, you can conveniently reserve the appropriate equipment in advance at the Arbon beach and pick it up on-site. As you paddle across the lake, you’ll collect clues and then solve the puzzle in Arbon’s old town.
Break
The PADL Trail ends back at the Buchhorn beach. There, you return your equipment and wind down the afternoon in a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re lounging in the sun, swimming in the lake, or enjoying a delicious ice cream—you’re guaranteed never to get bored here.
Accommodation
The modern self-check-in hotel b_smart is located right next to the Arbon train station. Here, you can enjoy a hassle-free stay with all the comforts you need. A room in the “Lake View” category is especially worth booking—it offers a stunning view of Lake Constance.
Dinner
Right next to your accommodation, you'll find the Presswerk —a restaurant and event venue in one. This historic brick building combines urban charm with modern cuisine, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed dinner. It's the ideal way to end your first day on a high note.
morning
Your second day begins with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel. For today’s itinerary, you’ll travel by train or car from Arbon to Egnach. That’s where your circular hiking trail begins: starting at the Egnach train station, the route takes you past orchards to Lömmenschwil and back to the starting point.

The trail is about 24.7 kilometers long and takes roughly six hours to complete.
Lunch
About halfway along the loop trail, you’ll reach the Mausacker organic farm restaurant. This farm, which is about 200 years old, invites you to enjoy a delicious lunch at its organic farm restaurant. A must-try during your visit: the farm’s own cider.
