Lindau Harbor

Highlight • Monument

The Lindau seaport can certainly be called the most beautiful German inland port. The port is not only an important transport hub in the eastern Lake Constance area for the Lake Constance fleet.

The location is unique: a crystal clear lake, in the background snow-capped mountains, a lush green surroundings and in the middle a historic island with incomparable charm. Lindau's Old Town is situated on an almost 70-hectare island in Lake Constance. With its centuries-old buildings, lively squares and picturesque streets, it exudes an almost Mediterranean flair. Behind the famous harbor entrance with the Bavarian Lion and the new lighthouse, the impressive panorama of the Alps and Lake Constance opens up. On the waterfront, which is considered one of the most beautiful on Lake Constance, one can follow the maritime hustle and bustle in the harbor from one of the many cafes.

Thieves' Tower, Lindau

Highlight • Historical Site

Diebsturm, Lindau
The thief tower and its colorful roof
The islanders owe the fact that the tower still exists at all to the Ravensburg master mason Johann Jacob Götzger, who bought the building in 1817 for 250 guilders and thus saved it from demolition. Götzger also saved the tower of the nearby St. Peter's Church, which was built around the year 1000 and is one of the oldest churches on Lake Constance, from decay. Together with the former bell foundry and the arsenal, St. Peter's Church and the thief's tower form a picturesque medieval ensemble.
Lindau's former city prison used to be called the Malefiz Tower; the Latin term "maleficus" stood for malicious, evil-doing and godless, the expression "maleficium" for outrage and crime. In Malefiz towers like the Lindau thief tower, the crooks had to do penance for their bad deeds.

We drove to Lindau by car 🚙 and parked in the paid parking lot P3 🅿️. From there, we walked along Chelles-Allee (the pier) to Lindau and into the old town. We let ourselves drift, sometimes turning left, sometimes right. We were able to catch most of the highlights on our tour (harbor entrance, lighthouse, various churches, city theater with …

I hadn't planned a hike this morning, but a tour of the island in Lindau, 34 km away. One reason was that heavy showers with possible strong thunderstorms were forecast (you can quickly find shelter somewhere or get somewhere dry if necessary).

After what felt like weeks of rain, we used a dry window of opportunity to walk around Lindau Island with its surrounding snow-covered mountain ridges and let the wind whistle through.

Arrival in Lindau. A very beautiful town with many small streets, cafes,
restaurants and a beach promenade. The overnight stay in the house west coast ....... without words.
No matter, we look forward to tomorrow and are confident that the sun will sweeten our day
