Konstanz

Konstanz, located directly on the western shore of Lake Constance, is an ideal destination for a varied and enjoyable convertible tour in Baden-Württemberg. The city combines historical depth, Mediterranean lake feelings, and a breathtaking location with views of the Alps. With its proximity to Switzerland, the charming Lake Constance region, and its delightful old town, Konstanz offers a perfect mix of culture, landscape, and driving pleasure.

Historic Old Town with Flair

A stroll through the old town of Konstanz is like a journey through the centuries. The well-preserved medieval streets, splendid merchant houses, and the impressive Cathedral of Our Lady shape the cityscape and tell of a tumultuous past. Particularly worth mentioning is the Council building at the harbor, which was the site of the Council of Constance in the 15th century – one of the most significant events in church history.

The city is vibrant yet relaxed: small cafés, unique shops, and cozy squares invite for leisurely stops. Those looking to experience culture can visit the Rosgarten Museum or the Archaeological State Museum of Baden-Württemberg.

Dreamy Driving Routes Along Lake Constance

The region around Konstanz offers a wealth of scenic routes for convertible drivers. Directly from the city, winding country roads lead through the green surroundings and along the lakeshore – with wonderful views over the water, towards the Alps, or to the Swiss side. The route via Radolfzell, further over the Höri peninsula, and towards Überlingen is particularly worth it. The Hegau region with its characteristic volcanic hills also provides variety and a touch of adventure.

Another highlight is the car ferry from Konstanz to Meersburg. During the crossing, one can enjoy a fantastic view over Lake Constance – a moment of slowing down right in the middle of the route.
