    Why Go There?

    Visit Bodensee (Lake Constance) and marvel at Germany's largest lake. The lake is not only in German territory, but parts of it also belong to Switzerland and Austria! Endless activities await you here.

    The area around Bodensee offers many beautiful hiking trails, and climbing enthusiasts will love exploring the climbing parks or even scaling one of the peaks. 

    And what would be more lovely than to glide across the clear water of the Bodensee? Lean back and let yourself enjoy a boat ride on the lake.

    For those of you who aim high...you have the amazing opportunity to take a hot air balloon trip or a panoramic flight over the Bodensee and enjoy unbelievable views.

    There is so much to discover in the region surrounding the Bodensee- like bigger cities with a bustling atmosphere, or quaint little winemaking villages. Highly recommended is a visit to Konstanz, which is the largest town in this region. It is a city deeply rooted in history with many historically meaningful buildings. It is definitely worth the trip to do some quality sightseeing here.
