Bodensee Travel Guide: 34 reviews and 142 photos

I am a very lucky person as my parents live at the Bodensee and visiting them is like a real vacation. This area is so incredibly beautiful - the large impressive lake with its many delightful little towns with their tidy Bavarian houses, the green pastures and in the background the majestic mountains - it is gorgeous.

If you read all my travel tips you may find that I am repeating myself. I talk a lot about cute towns with delightful old buildings. Well, most of the towns along the Bodensee are like that, so please forgive me being repetitive.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Amazing countryside, delightful towns

U can have a nice view at teh Rheinfall from the opposite side. We always enjoyed standing on the men's restroom in the SIG company, peeing and looking out the window on the Rhine...
