Lake Constance

Three countries around one lake, island gardens and the Alps on the far shore.

Lake Constance is shared by Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and a ferry or a bike takes you round all three. Lindau’s old town sits on an island, Meersburg stacks its castle and vineyards above the water, and Mainau is a garden island. The cycle path around the lake is one of the most ridden in Europe; the lake itself is for swimming, sailing and paddling.
