Rorschach
A harbor town on the shore of Lake Constance, where a Baroque granary and lakeside promenade await. You can take a boat or a rack railway up to the lakeside spa town of Heiden.
Rorschach is St. Gallen's 'lake port', about 15 minutes away by train. The Kornhaus, a granary built in the 1740s, was once an important grain transfer station for the Lake Constance region and is the landmark building of the harbor. It is pleasant to stroll along the lakefront promenade, swim, or sit in the sun at a lakeside restaurant. The nearby Würth Art Center displays a private art collection for free. In summer, you can take a boat from the harbor to Lindau and Konstanz in Germany, or to Bregenz in Austria, or ride the Rorschach–Heiden rack railway up to Heiden, a spa village with lake views.
