Constance

Skippers can recognise the harbour entrance to Constance from afar. It is watched over by the Imperia, the great Constance courtesan who brought the Pope and Emperor to their knees at the Council of Constance. Here, where the Rhine flows into the lake, you will also find the picturesque district of Paradies, which lies on the left bank of the Rhine.

Unteruhldingen

The pile dwellings of Unteruhldingen have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011. The archaeological open-air museum was opened in 1922. It shows the reconstruction of 23 pile dwellings from the Stone and Bronze Ages and is one of the largest open-air museums in Europe.

Lindau on Lake Constance
