The Bregenz lake promenade with Lake Constance in the foreground and Pfänder in the background. A very beautiful spot in the middle of a great setting. The mile along the lake is also lively and has very good opportunities to stop for a break or just to linger by the lake and on the lake.

The Pfände towers high above Bregenz. Reachable by the Pfändebahn or on foot, it offers a brilliant view of the wide Lake Constance. At the top station of the cable car there is a wildlife park and several inns.

The lake promenade is always nice to linger and you can also stop off at a restaurant. Where you can get something to eat and drink. The lake stage is a huge construction site at the moment. There are also some construction sites on the lake promenade. But the rest is nice to rest and linger.
