  • It would be good to plan this visit without much time restrictions, as, if you're lucky enough to have a good weather, there are plenty of walks, a kind of zoo and even restaurants to enjoy. Am glad.....  more

  • A beautiful hike through woods and alms. I recommend to walk up the mountain and have the satisfaction to master the climb when you have a gorgeous view over the Lake of Constanca.

  • Very nice mountain for a hike. You can also take the Sailbahn. The hike is not an easy one with steep roads. You need to gain almost 600meters from the bottom which was hard for me ;) the place is amazing and offers the best view of Bodensee from the top. Sunsets are really cool to watch from the top. Must visit !
  • At 1064m this mountain offers a spectacular view of Lake constance. The places has lot to offer includes hiking, wild park, restaurants , kids playing area , cable car , horse rides etc. The surrounding forest area , Swiss mountains and Bodensee will provide you an enchanting view. The best and scenic way to travel between the tourist places in the lake constance is via ship.
  • Definitely always worth the 👟hike! Went up on another route this week, starting in Lochau towards: Am Stein. Definitely steeper from there, but absolutely amazing view after approximately 20 minutes of hiking. Try it out on a sunny day☀️🌿! Gotta love the view😍!
  • Very pleasant morning after a climb by cable car, beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding area, playground for children and catering, free of charge mini zoo, and return to town after 4 km of walk (from 1060 to 470 m altitude ;-)
  • Nice experience, even cold also someone can wet here best place to trekking 1.1km height and around approximately 3.3km distance, beautiful and clean area well maintained.
