The German shore of the Bodensee

Langenargen

The beautiful southern aspect of the Württemberg lake coast, with views across the Bodensee, the Swiss shoreline and the Alps, give Langenargen its slogan 'The sunroom of the Bodensee'.

Schloss Montfort, built in the Moorish style, is Langenargen's landmark. From the tower you can see a wonderful view of the lake, the Alps and the surrounding landscape. The well-known Langenargen summer concerts take place at the castle and its elegant and charming ambience makes it an ideal setting for weddings and conferences.

The historic Münzhof, (Coin yard) is regularly used for concerts, theatre events, cabaret, comedy shows and film presentations.

As well as culture, Langenargen has many sports and activities to offer as part of your holiday experience: swimming and sunbathing from the marvellous lakeside beaches, sailing, windsurfing, boat trips on the Bodensee. Cycling, hiking and Nordic walking around the lake or in the hills around Langenargen: in Langenargen the opportunities to enjoy your leisure time are endless.

The Island of Mainau

From spring right through to the autumn a magnificent vision; a positive ocean of flowers awaits the visitor to Mainau. The new Palmhouse provides not only protective over-wintering for the valuable collection of palms but also an interesting experience for both old and young with plant shows as well as events and displays.
In Germany's biggest butterfly house you can experience the colourful world of the Tropics.
There are a number of gastronomic possibilities at Mainau offering a variety of culinary specialities that can be enjoyed on the sunny terraces or in cosy restaurants.

Pfahlbaumuseum in Unteruhldingen (Lake Settlement museum in Unteruhldingen)

Some of the countless finds from the lake dwellers settlement, which was inhabited over 3,500 years ago, can be seen in the Freichlichtmuseum (Open-air Museum) in Unteruhldingen (as well as in the history museum of Arbon).
Twenty buildings have been reproduced in the original size, making it possible to travel back in time to the Stone and Bronze Ages (3370 B.C.) at the Bodensee. How did they live? Why did they build on the water? What did the landscape of the Bodensee look like in the Stone Age? These and many other questions are answered on the tours led by specially trained tour leaders. New in 2005 was the 'Haus der Fragen' or House of Questions'.

Please enquire for details.

Sea Life Centre Konstanz

This, the first Sea Life Centre in the German interior, showcases the world of water-dwellers in over 30 fresh and seawater tanks. You follow the course of the Rhine from the glaciers above the Bodensee, all the way to the medieval harbour of Rotterdam. A highlight is the 8-meter long see-through acrylic tunnel that allows you to see stingrays, sharks, and a 2-meter long conger eel at play above your head.

Konstanz

Konstanz is the biggest city on the lake. As soon as the temperatures allow, life is lived outside, in street cafés, along the lake or in the parks. In the evenings, the winding lanes of the Niederburg, which is the oldest part of Konstanz, is the liveliest area. Around here you will find wine bars, jazz bars and trendy drinking places. Located directly on the shores of the Bodensee in a large elegant Villa at Seestrasse 21, is the casino.

The castle museum is open daily; tours of the tower can be taken from Easter to November.

Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen

An age-old human dream was realised on July 2nd, 1900, when the very first Zeppelin rose into the sky from Friedrichshafen on the Bodensee. More than 100 years later these giants of the air have not lost their appeal. The Zeppelin Museum offers an extensive exhibition programme, which reflects both the technical and artistic aspects of the collection.
