Meersburg


One easy day trip from Konstanz is a visit to Meersburg. www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meersburg
From our house, Meersburg is a short walk down the hill to the lake. Then you take the ferry across the Bodensee for twenty minutes to Meersburg. On a nice day, you can see the Alps of Switzerland and Austria from the boat. On a not-so-nice day, you can get a coffee in the boat Bistro.
The main attraction in Meersburg, besides getting an ice cream and window shopping, is the old castle. In addition, there is a Thermal bath, perfect for weary travellers. Wine tasting is also a possibility.

The best castle yet - I want to go back! We didn't get to the wine tasting and only had a tiny bit of the shopping - just enough to make us want to come back again. The dramatic display of clouds over the mountains and the wind whipping up waves on the lake made the ferry ride fascinating.
