Lakeside Trail at Großer Alpsee

This path is beautiful to walk at any time of year. It is especially worth it with children as it is all flat.

Alpe Hörmoos

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Herb garden is signposted great. Weeds get a name :) :) Also the schnapps next door can be recommended. Small paradise below the Nagelfluhkette.

Very flat, most of the path can also be walked with a stroller, but not the circular route, because south of the main road the path is no longer as wide and blocked.

The Alpsee, which is almost 250 hectares in size, stretches for three kilometres in an easterly direction in the Konstanz valley, is almost one kilometre wide and is crossed by the Konstanzer Ach from the west. Almost a dozen hillside streams from the mountains on the north side and a few fewer from those on the south bank provide further inflow; the larger of these have pushed silting noses up to 150 metres long into the lake.
