Bezienswaardigheden aan het meer in Lindau (Bodensee)

Lindau Lakeside Highlights

Lindau's lakeside is defined by its 19th-century harbor entrance, framed by the 36-meter New Lighthouse and the massive Bavarian Lion sculpture on the Löwenmole pier. This historic waterfront serves as the main hub for Lake Constance passenger ferries. Beyond the harbor, the shoreline features the 12th-century Mangturm tower, the Nobel Laureate Pier, and various viewpoints offering panoramas of the Swiss and Austrian Alps across the water.
