Immenstaad on Lake Constance combines lakeside paths and protected areas along the Lake Constance Trail with a Romanesque fortified church in Frenkenbach. There is also a walking tour of the town and a local history museum in Kippenhausen. This offers different options for planning your trip: paths and nature, local history, or getting around by bus and regional train with the guest card.

On the Lake Constance Trail between the shore and the landing stage

The Lake Constance Trail takes walkers along lakeside paths and to protected areas, with information boards explaining the various topics. The route runs along Seestraße Ost to the landing stage. There, you can take a walk and watch the boats dock. Along Seestraße West, the Lake Constance Trail passes the Käptn Golf mini-golf course and the Aquastaad.

The trail thus offers different perspectives on the town: the information boards along the lakeside paths and through protected areas introduce various topics, while at the landing stage the focus is on watching boats dock. The stops mentioned along Seestraße West provide another point of reference on the route. Depending on your interests, you can focus on nature along the Lake Constance Trail or on watching the boats at the landing stage.

Fortified church and local history museum

The Romanesque fortified church of St. Oswald and Otmar stands in the district of Frenkenbach. It was built around 1200 and is the oldest building within the municipal boundaries of Immenstaad. The church adds a distinct historical dimension alongside the lakeside and nature themes of the Lake Constance Trail.

In Kippenhausen, which belongs to the municipality of Immenstaad, the Immenstaad Local History Museum is located in the attic of the historic Haus Montfort in the town center. Its collection of regional objects focuses on household life and crafts and provides insight into the town’s history. For a walking tour of Immenstaad, tour guide Susanne Wetzel offers a guided way to get to know the town.

Seasonal impressions and getting around

Visitors staying overnight in Immenstaad receive the ECHT BODENSEE CARD from their first night. It gives them free use of buses and regional trains within the Bodo transport association area. If you are planning to travel by these means of transport, check the card’s current conditions before your trip.

The Lake Constance district as a regional setting

The Lake Constance district stretches along almost the entire northern shore of Lake Constance in Baden-Württemberg and extends into the Upper Swabian Hills and, to the east, the West Allgäu Hills. It has 57.7 kilometers of Lake Constance shoreline. The district’s landscape is shaped by the lake and the adjoining hills, with fruit orchards, vineyards, meadows, and forests.

Cultural sites in the Lake Constance district include the pile dwellings of Unteruhldingen, Germany’s oldest archaeological open-air museum. The visitor route includes the ARCHAEORAMA multimedia show, featuring a virtual dive to the pile dwellings in Lake Constance. The site also includes the DISCOVERY TRAIL, with a pile-dwelling cinema where experimental archaeologists introduce visitors to historical house-building techniques. Alongside Immenstaad’s local history, this offers another way to explore the region’s past.
