Beautiful view of Lake Constance

I think it's a shame that everyone is only focusing on the beautiful bathhouse. The lakeside promenade has so much more to offer. Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph it, otherwise I would have liked to post a few pictures. Now, take this as an incentive and take some nice pictures of the promenade.

The funny thing about it: dogs are allowed to swim in the Bubenweiher lake, but not humans :)! https://www.teddy-b.ch/ausflugsziele/drei-weieren-st-gallen-wasserwelten/
