Lindau: Circular Walk and Castle Visit

A stay in Lindau can combine a circular walk through the countryside with a possible visit to the castle. The walk has a specific route, while access to the castle is subject to its own conditions. If you are planning both, treat the walk and the visit as two activities with different planning steps. This lets you shape your itinerary around what matters most to you.

The circular walk through Lindau

The Lindau circular walk passes through woods, fields, and open countryside. It is 5 km long and begins and ends at Lindau Castle. The route can be walked and also cycled. Some sections have natural surfaces. When deciding between a walk and a bike ride, take both the total distance and the surface conditions into account. Because it is a loop, the route starts and ends at the same point, so you can factor your return to the starting point into your day’s plans. If you are interested in different types of scenery, you can plan to experience them together on this same circular route. Trail conditions can change, so check them again before setting out.

Getting to the walk

There is free parking for the circular walk at Lindau Castle. The Lindau Schule bus stop is 180 metres away. These give you two specific reference points for getting there, with different relevance depending on your mode of transport. If you are travelling by car, you can take the parking into account; if you plan to take the bus, check the timetable for your travel dates. The distance to the stop helps with orientation but does not replace checking the connection. Also check transport and accessibility information again before your trip. This keeps getting there on your radar as a separate planning step alongside the walk.

Visiting Lindau Castle

Visits to Lindau Castle are possible by prior registration, on the annual Open Monument Day, and on Whit Monday. If you are planning a visit, first check which of these options fits your travel dates. Confirm the access arrangements again before your visit, as registration requirements may change. The fact that the circular walk starts and ends at the castle does not automatically mean that a visit is part of the route; access is subject to its own conditions.

Planning a circular walk and castle visit

When choosing the days for your stay, it depends on which activity takes priority. If visiting the castle is important, first match your travel dates to the access options listed. If you are looking for a hotel in Lindau, you can take your planned activities into account when choosing your stay dates, without planning a visit independently of the access conditions. If the walk is your main focus, plan the 5 km as a separate outing and take the partly natural surfaces and travel arrangements into account. If you would like to combine both, treat access to the castle as a separate step alongside the walk.
