Lindau Travel Forum

I will be visiting Germany from the US and want to drive from Tubingen in Baden Wurtemburg to Neuschwanstein for the day then get to Konstanz to a hotel the same night. I thought I could drive from Neuschwanstein to Lindau and take the ferry to Konstanz hotel. Is that too much? I will be traveling with my Dad who is 82 but in good health. How do I make ferry reservations now for April? Is that required. I speak just a little German.

Where do you think this picture was taken from? I would love to make a similar (but better) shot. :o)

Thanks a lot!

Hi, all!

I'm toying with a trip itinerary involving travel from Munich to Switzerland at the end of August. I came up with the idea of purchasing a Bayern Ticket and taking local trains to Lindau, then staying overnight in Lindau, continuing into Switzerland the next morning on a Swisspass (paying for the bit from Lindau to St Margrethen).

My question: I know Lindau is a major vacation destination in August. Is there any chance of getting a room for 1 night somewhere midweek? If not, might there be a small village nearby with a B&B or something similar?

If I may ask another question :), does anyone have information on the boat from Lindau to Rorschach? Might it be possible to take an evening boat to Rorschach/St Gallen and stay overnight there?

Thanks for the help!
