A round trip on the passenger boat is worthwhile. It takes about 25 minutes and costs (summer 24) 7 euros. In return you get a great view and lots of information about Lake Titisee

Very pleasant in the evening hours, especially in summer. Although unfortunately it is very busy, the Heimathafen bar is open longer there and you can end the evening there. The sunset is beautiful to look at.
