Fünfländerblick On the Fünfländerblick, the view is fantastic. The Fünfländerblick owes its name to the view of Switzerland, Austria, and the formerly independent German states of Bavaria, Württemberg, and Baden.

A detour here is worthwhile, even if it's a bit off the beaten track. The menu has a good selection and card payments are accepted. Beautiful views to the south and east.

A very worthwhile train journey up to Heiden. You are rewarded with a great panorama over the lake, a really funny joke trail and a pretty little town that invites you to linger. All in all, pleasant and relaxing.
