Lake Constance in the south of Germany is a popular holiday destination. We used the end of a holiday in the Allg\u00e4u for make a detour on Lindau on our way back. We put up at the Bayrischer Hof – sometimes, you\u2019re owned a little treat. From our hotel window we have a fantastic view onto the concise port entrance of Lindau with the Bavarian Lion on the left side and the lighthouse on the right.<\/p>\n

\nHaving started at Bad Hindelang, we first make a detour to Wangen which belongs to the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg side of the Allg\u00e4u. The old part of the town lures us with its gothic frontages and its half-timbered houses. We enter the historical centre through the St. Martins\u2018 gate and reach the Paradiesstra\u00dfe (paradise road).
\nUpon our arrival at Linda we hop on our bikes and ride along Lake Constance to Bregenz. The route is nice and almost flat, therefore it does not take much strength to get there. At Bregenz we chose a cozy caf\u00e9 down at the harbour and watch the hustle and bustle at the waterside. Next to carriage-rides and bachelorette parties there is a lot to see.<\/p>\n
\nBack at Lindau we take a stroll through the croweded city. It is impossible to find a diner table without reservation. Walking through the streets we do not only discover the Narrenbrunnen (fountain of fools). It\u2019s the numerous and bold sparrows populating the chairs and tables of the restaurants and caf\u00e9s looking out for somthing to eat that catch our eye.
\nWe sit down by the riverside and enjoy the evening sun and a glass of wine. We suck up the wonderful atmosphere of this place. From afar we hear some music. Later on on the terrace of the Corner Caf\u00e9 with a view onto the lake we enjoy not only our diner but also watch a selected company which pleases itself on the boat \u201eSonnenk\u00f6nig\u201c.<\/p>\n
\nThe next day we enjoy a rich breakfast. Afterwards we decide to climb up the thirty-six metres up to the top oft he lighthouse. The sweaty ascend ends on the panoramic plattform and shows the city at its best. Having a band playing and showing some Bavarian folk dances we enjoy the hole scenery from above from our seat in a box.<\/p>\n
