Boat trips on Lake Constance

The landing stage in Nußdorf is a starting point for boat trips on Lake Constance. These include trips towards Mainau, Reichenau and the pile-dwelling museum in Unteruhldingen. These destinations give you specific points of reference for planning excursions. Routes and timetables depend on the season or may change, so check the connections for your travel dates.

Lido and cycling

The lakeside lido has a shallow sandy beach and a diving tower. It is considered family-friendly and offers views across Lake Constance towards the Swiss shore and Säntis. The shallow beach area and diving tower offer different ways to enjoy your time by the water. Opening times may vary by season, so take this into account when planning your visit.

The Lake Constance Cycle Path passes right through Nußdorf. There are bicycle shops in Nußdorf and Überlingen. The route through the village and the locations of the shops mentioned are two separate points of reference for planning a cycling trip. Individual businesses may change their offerings, so check the latest information if you plan to visit a shop.

Regional cuisine and products

The food and drink scene associated with Nußdorf includes restaurants, cafés and farm shops where you can discover and enjoy regional products. Each offers a different focus: restaurants and cafés provide places to stop for a meal or a drink, while farm shops put regional produce at the center. If you plan to visit particular businesses, check their opening hours, as individual shops and their opening arrangements may change.

In the wider destination of Überlingen

Überlingen has its own cultural and landscape attractions. St. Nicholas Minster is the city’s landmark and the largest Gothic church on Lake Constance. The Überlingen Municipal Museum brings the history, culture and art of Überlingen and the region to life, from the Stone Age to the 20th century. It also houses one of Germany’s largest collections of dollhouses. The museum garden features Jewish gravestones that are among the oldest in Baden-Württemberg.

The walking routes also vary in length: the approximately four-kilometer Überlingen Garden Culture Trail passes selected parks, gardens and green spaces. Überlingen’s lakeside promenade runs for more than two kilometers along Lake Constance. The SeeGang premium hiking trail connects Konstanz and Überlingen over a distance of just over 50 kilometers. These routes cover different distances; check local conditions before setting out.

Überlingen’s green spaces include the Upper City Garden and the Uferpark. An iron pavilion dating from the 19th century stands on a rocky outcrop in the Upper City Garden, offering panoramic views. The former city fortifications now form a green belt around the old town and have become an urban green corridor and recreational area. The approximately six-hectare Uferpark has a naturally landscaped lakeshore, open access to the lake and play areas; it is one of the projects that remained after the 2021 Garden Show.

For further insights into Überlingen, the free Zeigmal.App accompanies a walk with short audio stories and historical photos, offering a glimpse into more than 1,250 years of the city’s history. App availability may change, so check in advance if needed. A guided tour lasting around 1.5 hours introduces sights such as St. Nicholas Minster, the historic Council Chamber and the former Greth trading and granary. Check current dates and booking options for your travel dates. The “1643 – Konradin’s Escape” outdoor escape experience leads through the winding lanes of the historic old town, over walls and towers, and along the old town ditches; check its current availability with the provider.

The Bodensee-Therme Überlingen offers indoor and outdoor pools as well as various saunas; the sauna garden has direct access to the lake. As offerings may change, check the latest details with the operator. In Überlingen, there are also leisurely cycle routes with almost no inclines that follow the water and pass lidos, parks and viewpoints. Alongside culture and lakeside scenery, these provide further options for planning a day there.
