Lake Constance
On the way at the 'Swabian Sea'
Due to its size, Lake Constance is also referred to as the "Swabian Sea." Three islands are located in the lake: Lindau, Reichenau, and the well-known flower island Mainau. The lakeshore is lined with many romantic spots, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and numerous flowers that thrive in the mild climate. Germany's largest inland lake, bordered by Switzerland and Austria, always offers an attractive travel destination with its unique landscape.

Since 2004, Meersburg has been a member of the German Half-Timbered House Route – one of the major tourist routes in Germany. After a short city walk, you will take a boat to Mainau Island.
