View of Lindau Harbour and the Mangturm from the Römerschanze

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Römerschanze is located directly at the port of Lindau. It is a park that is slightly elevated and from which you have a great view over the port of Lindau on Lake Constance. In addition to the many boats and ships, you also have a great view of the harbor entrance and the Bavarian lion and the beautiful lighthouse.

Lindau Lion

Highlight • Monument

The six meter high lion, which is looking intently across the lake, is the work of the Munich professor Johann von Halbig. It is made of Kehlheim sandstone and weighs around 50 tons. The Roman numerals "MDCCCLVI" are written on the base of the lion - they provide information about the year the building was completed: 1856.

Mangturm, Lindau

Highlight • Monument

“For the protection and defiance of the seaport – a powerful landmark of the former free imperial city of Lindau”, is what is written on the wall of the building. An imposing 20 meters high and equipped with loopholes, the tower was once surrounded by water – a perfect observation post at the end of the city wall, which also included the two neighboring towers of the fishing district, the Peters- and the Diebsturm.

It was only when Lindau's new lighthouse was completed in 1856 that the Mangturm lost its function as a signal and observation post. It was raised by one floor and covered with the distinctive glazed tiles.

BSB Harbor Lindau (Lake Constance)

Highlight • Structure

It is always interesting to watch the hustle and bustle in a port. Here in Lindau, with its distinctive harbor entrance, there is also a lively ferry service.
I brought a postcard with me from a school trip to Lake Constance in 1965. It said:
"Lindau is on Lake Constance, if you don't believe it, come and see for yourself".

Lindau's Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

According to the official city name, Lindau is not on Lake Constance, but in Lake Constance. Because Lindau's old town is located on an island and is connected to the mainland by two dams for railways and cars. However, most of today's urban area is on the mainland. The landmarks of the old town can be found at the harbor entrance. The lighthouse and the Bavarian lion are probably the best known on Lake Constance.

December 30, 2022,wandern wäre besser gewesen - Kaufrausch Lindau

You could choose between hiking at the top of the Pfänder and Lindau. Pledges would have been smarter, because I fell into a shopping frenzy 🫣, first the shoes in one store, then the jeans in another and in this special fabric store I then escalated to the maximum 💥🌋🤯💣

June 21, 2023,Wanderung Lindau Andy Warhol

Today we made a trip to Lindau. Visit the Andy Warhol exhibition. Unfortunately it is not possible to take photos of the exhibited paintings. Only from the pictures in the checkout area. Whoever comes to Lindau should visit them. The exhibition is worth it. A tour of the island is also very nice.

May 27, 2022,Bodensee 🐸 / Lindauer Altstadtinsel

Today we took a break from hiking and instead took a stroll around the old town island of Lindau. Narrow streets, crooked gables, many small harbours, Lake Constance, lots of outdoor gastronomy and pure sunshine give the whole thing an almost Mediterranean flair - really nice here 👌!
