Lake Constance Essentials

Bordered by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Lake Constance features the floral gardens of Mainau Island and the medieval Meersburg Castle. The region preserves history through the UNESCO-listed prehistoric stilt houses at Unteruhldingen and the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen. In Konstanz, the Romanesque Minster and the 14th-century Council building mark significant religious milestones, while the harbor is defined by the rotating Imperia statue. Lindau offers a Bavarian island setting with a historic lighthouse, and Bregenz provides a scenic promenade along the Austrian shore.
