Lindau Island
Lindauer Insel
The old town on an island on the eastern shore of Lake Constance. The Bavarian Lion statue and the new lighthouse at the harbour entrance are the most classic images of the lake.
The old town of Lindau sits on a small island, connected to the mainland by a causeway and a railway bridge. At the harbour entrance stand a 6-meter-tall Bavarian lion statue and the 33-meter-tall New Lighthouse, which you can climb. Next to them is the 13th-century Old Lighthouse, the Mangturm. The walls of the Old Town Hall in the center of the old town are covered with murals, and Maximilianstraße is lined with shops and cafés. A lake ferry from Konstanz takes about 3 hours, and the train takes about 2 hours. Lindau is often visited on the same day as Bregenz.
