Moos is located at the southwestern end of Lake Constance, on Lake Untersee, and is surrounded by extensive nature reserves. You can choose from a range of activities when planning your trip: hiking, local festivals and time by the water. When planning your accommodation, it may help to first decide what you want your stay to revolve around. The details below highlight differences in route, event location and activities on offer.

Landscape and trails around Moos

The landscape around the Schienerberg includes forests, the lake, orchards and vegetable gardens; large areas are protected as nature or landscape conservation areas. Hiking opportunities are available around Moos, Weiler, Iznang and Bankholzen. The Vordere Höri circular hike connects all four districts of Moos. It is about 13 kilometres long and takes approximately three hours. These estimates provide a guide for planning your day. If you want to connect all four districts on one hike, you can choose this route; further hiking opportunities are available around the places mentioned.

Moos lido by the lake

The Moos lido is located within a nature reserve. Its facilities include a large lawn, three children's playgrounds, a kiosk, a dining room and a lakeside terrace. This makes it possible to plan a visit by the water differently from a hike: the focus here is on the lido's listed facilities, while the circular trail has its own timeframe.

Water procession and Büllefest

The Moos water procession combines a religious event with its lakeside setting. It was first held as a water procession in 1926. Holidaymakers can take part aboard large accompanying boats. If you want to plan your trip around this event, check the current event dates before arranging your stay.

The annual Büllefest rotates between Bankholzen, Iznang, Moos and Weiler. The focus is on local products made with the Bülle onion. Dishes on offer include Bülledünne, Büllesuppe and Büllebrot. The changing event location is relevant when planning: check the location and date for the year you want to visit. This lets you plan your visit to the festival around your chosen destination, rather than assuming that it will be held in Moos.

Getting around the area

You can explore the area around Moos by bus, train and boat. For guests with a Bodenseecard West, bus and train travel in the district of Konstanz is free; the area includes Stein am Rhein and Überlingen, among other places. The card also includes a 20 percent discount on Swiss scheduled boats between Schaffhausen and Konstanz. Card benefits and conditions may change, so check them before travelling. When choosing where to stay, you can use your planned activities as a guide: the approximate duration of the circular hike, the changing location of the Büllefest or a visit to the lido.
