Bench with a view of Lake Überlingen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here are about 200 vertical meters to drive for one or the other very exhausting. Without an e-bike, it would have been too exhausting for us as occasional riders.

Bench with lake view

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the shore it stands still, the bench Marienschlucht 03, they say the gorge is here – but you don't see it, oh dear. The view remains invisible, the gaze goes into the air, but wooden seat wings invite you to linger, very gently.

The gorge, which cannot be seen, means nothing, because here you can comfortably pamper yourself in peace. The wind plays on the backrest, the seagulls laugh softly, and everyone who sits down shares the eye-area with it.

The clock at the corner ticks like a belated greeting, but time is quickly forgotten when you enjoy pleasure here. A bench that laughs, when stories arise, Marienschlucht 03, here you want to linger, not leave.

So you sit there, between water, wind and fantasy, the gorge remains hidden – but peace draws it victoriously. Come by, treat yourself to a break, stay a little longer, Marienschlucht 03 welcomes you, with a very cozy swing.

Natural beach on Lake Constance, near Bodman

Highlight • Beach

Very nice natural beach. Swimming is only recommended with bathing shoes, as it is a pebble beach. Unsafe swimmers should be careful. The water goes steeply downhill without warning.

Bodman Castle

Highlight • Castle

Bodman Castle is located in Bodman, a part of the double municipality of Bodman-Ludwigshafen in the district of Konstanz. In 1757 the first castle was built in Bodman. The current castle was built in 1832 by Johann Baptist Wehrle and was given its current appearance in 1909 with additions. The Bodman Castle in Weinbrenner style is a simple structure. It is privately owned and is still inhabited by Wilderich Graf von und zu Bodman, the son of Johann Nikolaus Freiherr von und zu Bodman. Only the castle park, an extensive English park that dates back to the 18th century, is open to visitors.

Great distant view

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view towards Radolfzell and over the island Reichenau. Right here at the crossroads is also a small hiking parking lot, which is ideal as a starting point for hiking or biking. 200m further in the forest is still a larger parking lot with barbecue.
