The Bregenz lake promenade with Lake Constance in the foreground and Pfänder in the background. A very beautiful spot in the middle of a great setting. The mile along the lake is also lively and has very good opportunities to stop for a break or just to linger by the lake and on the lake.

The Pfände towers high above Bregenz. Reachable by the Pfändebahn or on foot, it offers a brilliant view of the wide Lake Constance. At the top station of the cable car there is a wildlife park and several inns.

The lake promenade is always nice to linger and you can also stop off at a restaurant. Where you can get something to eat and drink. The lake stage is a huge construction site at the moment. There are also some construction sites on the lake promenade. But the rest is nice to rest and linger.

Bregenz is the capital of Vorarlberg and has earned a good reputation as a festival city thanks to its lakeshore. The Austrian part of Lake Constance is the smallest
