A little crowded
In a nutshell
Only a short trip from home - it feels like being on holiday at the end of the world
Ravensburg - a bit north of the Lake
Phillylawyer_19107 Says: Ravensburg is a bit north of the Bodensee, from Lindau it is a 30-45 minute drive. The city center is very nice, there are plenty of old buildings, of course well-kept and of several different styles. You can stay in the shopping areas if you want to, but I advice to also...

Teddybaer Restaurant: An excellent place
christine.j Says: The teddy bear hotel has a restaurant attached to it, with the focus on local products. We went there to celebrate my mother's birthday and the food was so good, that we returned the next evening as well. They offer local products mostly, asparagus, fish from the lake,...
Atelier am Diebsturm: Beautiful, but far too expensive
christine.j Says: I saw some beautiful earthenware being displayed outside the small shop next to the Diebsturm and went in, hoping to find a nice present. I liked most of what I saw and thought I could buy one of the espresso cups. But when I asked how much it was I heard 35 Euro. This was...
All kinds of shops: St. Gallen - prepare to spend
Phillylawyer_19107 Says: If you have a bit more money in your travel purse you might consider shopping in St. Gallen. There are several nice boutiques who carry fashion that is influenced by the French taste, looking quite nice, but being quite expensive. There are also many other stores, you could...
christine.j Says: My mother had read about a doll museum in Kippenhausen, so we went there. This museum can serve as an example of a tourist trap.True, there are lots of dolls on display. BUT:No explanation whatsoever! Everything is set down without a single plate or note, like how old it is...
The most expensive waterfalls in Europe
Phillylawyer_19107 Says: Don’t go to Schaffhausen (about 15 miles west of the west corner of the Bodensee, it is quite a long drive) unless you have money to give away. Schaffhausen is where the River Rhine rushes down a waterfall (Rheinfall), which apparently is the biggest waterfall in Europe....
Museum in the cellar, but what a gem!
christine.j Says: We had seen a sign saying "doll museum" near Hagnau, but still took a long time and some wrong turns to find it. It's in the cellar of a normal family home, entrance is through the garden and we had to ring the bell. We weren't even sure if we had come to the right place.But...
christine.j Says: For a few years now, the three-country-marathon has been held on the first Sunday in October and this year, 2009, I decided to run it. It was wonderful! The course starts in Lindau, Germany, you run through Bregenz, Austria into St Margarethen in Switzerland and then again...
Erin09340 Says: Since most of the sights were closed, we decided to wait for our friends in a convivial restaurant/pub. And proceeded to drink a number of their fine beverages. Then we ended up in a greek restaurant on the lake and had some delicious wines.
